Segregation of cylindrically confined cross-linked polymers
James M. Polson, Tyler M. Dickieson, Matthew R. O'Connell
Entropic repulsion between polymer chains under confinement in a narrow channel tends to induce segregation. Recent computer simulation studies have provided indirect evidence that…
Elastic properties of polycatenane chains and ribbons
James M. Polson, Liam MacNevin, Alaaddin Elobeid +1
Single-chain elasticity is of fundamental importance in polymer physics, as it underlies many of the unique properties of polymer systems. Recently, there has been interest in char…
Free-energy landscape of a polymer in the presence of two nanofluidic entropic traps
James M. Polson, Matthew Kozma
Recently, nanofluidics experiments have been used to characterize the behavior of single DNA molecules confined to narrow slits etched with arrays of nanopits. Analysis of the expe…
Equilibrium behaviour of two cavity-confined polymers: Effects of polymer width and system asymmetries
Desiree A. Rehel, James M. Polson
Experiments using nanofluidic devices have proven effective in characterizing the physical properties of polymers confined to small cavities. Two recent studies using such methods…
Entropic force of cone-tethered polymers interacting with a planar surface
James M. Polson, Roland G. MacLennan
Computer simulations are used to characterize the entropic force of one or more polymers tethered to the tip of a hard conical object that interact with a nearby hard flat surface.…
Flatness and Intrinsic Curvature of Linked-Ring Membranes
James M. Polson, Edgar J. Garcia, Alexander R. Klotz
Recent experiments have elucidated the physical properties of kinetoplasts, which are chain-mail-like structures found in the mitochondria of trypanosome parasites formed from cate…
