Exponential growth rate of lattice comb polymers
EJ Janse van Rensburg, SG Whittington
We investigate a lattice model of comb polymers and derive bounds on the exponential growth rate of the number of embeddings of the comb. A comb is composed of a backbone that is a…

The escape transition of a lattice star polymer grafted in a pore
CJ Bradly, EJ Janse van Rensburg
Polymers in confined spaces are compressed and have reduced conformational entropy, and will partially or fully escape from confinement if conditions are suitable. This is in parti…
