Kinetics of Loop Formation in Polymer Chains
Ngo Minh Toan, Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon +1
We investigate the kinetics of loop formation in flexible ideal polymer chains (Rouse model), and polymers in good and poor solvents. We show for the Rouse model, using a modificat…

Influence of surface interactions on folding and forced unbinding of semiflexible chains
V. Barsegov, D. Thirumalai
We investigate the folding and forced-unbinding transitions of adsorbed semiflexible polymer chains using theory and simulations. These processes describe biologically relevant phe…

Two Landmarks in Polymer Physics: The Edwards Model and de Gennes Observation
D. Thirumalai
The impact of two landmark papers one by Edwards and the other by de Gennes on the field of polymer physics is highlighted.
