Understanding long-range opposite charge repulsion in multivalent salt solutions
Nikhil R. Agrawal, Carlo Carrao, Rui Wang
The electrostatic correlations between ions profoundly influence the structure and forces within electrical double layers. Here, we apply the modified Gaussian Renormalized Fluctua…
A Molecular Theory for Liquid Crystal Elastomers: Nematic Ordering, Shape Deformation and Mechanical Response
Luofu Liu, Rui Wang
Modeling liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) at the molecular level is crucial for the predictable design of energy-conversion and stimuli-responsive materials. Here, we develop a sel…
Effects of Ionic Strength on the Morphology, Scattering, and Mechanical Response of Neurofilament-Derived Protein Brushes
Takashi J. Yokokura, Chao Duan, Erika A. Ding +2
Protein brushes not only play a key role in the functionality of neurofilaments but also have wide applications in biomedical materials. Here, we investigate the effect of ionic st…
Kinetic Pathway and Micromechanics of Vesicle Fusion/Fission
Luofu Liu, Chao Duan, Rui Wang
Despite the wide existence of vesicles in living cells as well as their important applications like drug-delivery, the underlying mechanism of vesicle fusion/fission remains under…
Understanding the Salt Effects on the Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation of Proteins
Chao Duan, Rui Wang
Protein aggregation via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is ubiquitous in nature and intimately connects to many human diseases. Although it is widely known that the addition…
