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…

Force-induced desorption of copolymeric comb polymers

EJ Janse van Rensburg, CE Soteros, SG Whittington

We investigate a lattice model of comb copolymers that can adsorb at a surface and that are subject to a force causing desorption. The teeth and the backbone of the comb are chemic…

Trajectories of directed lattice paths

EJ Janse van Rensburg

The distribution of monomers along a linear polymer grafted on a hard wall is modelled by determining the probability distribution of occupied vertices of Dyck and ballot path mode…

Thermodynamic and topological properties of copolymer rings with a segregation/mixing transition

EJ Janse van Rensburg, E Orlandini, MC Tesi +1

Two ring polymers close to each other in space may be either in a segregated phase if there is a strong repulsion between monomers in the polymers, or intermingle in a mixed phase…

Copolymeric stars adsorbed at a surface and subject to a force: a self-avoiding walk model

EJ Janse van Rensburg, SG Whittington

We consider a model of star copolymers, based on self-avoiding walks, where the arms of the star can be chemically distinct. The copolymeric star is attached to an impenetrable sur…

Lattice star and acyclic branched polymer vertex exponents in 3d

S Campbell, EJ Janse van Rensburg

Numerical values of lattice star entropic exponents , and star vertex exponents , are estimated using parallel implementations of the PERM and Wang-Landau algorithms. Our…
