Scale-dependent rigidity of polymer-ornamented membranes
Thomas Bickel, Carlos M. Marques
We study the fluctuation spectrum of fluid membranes carrying grafted polymers. Contrary to usual descriptions, we find that the modifications induced by the polymers cannot be red…

Local entropic effects of polymers grafted to soft interfaces
T. Bickel, C. Jeppesen, C. M. Marques
In this paper, we study the equilibrium properties of polymer chains end-tethered to a fluid membrane. The loss of conformational entropy of the polymer results in an inhomogeneous…
