Stochastic model of randomly end-linked polymer network micro-regions
Sam C. P. Norris, Andrea M. Kasko, Tom Chou +1
Polymerization and formation of crosslinked polymer networks are important processes in manufacturing, materials fabrication, and in the case of hydrated polymer networks, synthesi…
Swarming in viscous fluids: three-dimensional patterns in swimmer- and force-induced flows
Yao-Li Chuang, M. R. D'Orsogna, T. Chou
We derive from first principles a three-dimensional theory of self-propelled particle swarming in a viscous fluid environment. Our model predicts emergent collective behavior that…
Coarsening and accelerated equilibration in mass-conserving heterogeneous nucleation
T. Chou, M. D'Orsogna
We propose a model of mass-conserving heterogeneous nucleation to describe the dynamics of ligand-receptor binding in closed cellular compartments. When the ligand dissociation rat…
Diffusion and multistage kinetics of macromolecular adsorption
Tom Chou, Maria R. D'Orsogna
We derive the equations that describe adsorption of diffusing particles onto a surface followed by additional surface kinetic steps before being transported across the interface. M…
Chiral molecule adsorption on helical polymers
Maria R. D'Orsogna, Tom Chou
We present a lattice model for helicity induction on an optically inactive polymer due to the adsorption of exogenous chiral amine molecules. The system is mapped onto a one-dimens…
Two-level system with a thermally fluctuating transfer matrix element: Application to the problem of DNA charge transfer
Maria R. D'Orsogna, Joseph Rudnick
Charge transfer along the base-pair stack in DNA is modeled in terms of thermally-assisted tunneling between adjacent base pairs. Central to our approach is the notion that tunneli…
