Generation of mechanical force by grafted polyelectrolytes in an electric field
N. V. Brilliantov, Yu. A. Budkov, C. Seidel
We study theoretically and by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations the generation of mechanical force by grafted polyelectrolytes in an external electric field, which favor…
Field-regulated force by grafted polyelectrolytes
Christian Seidel, Yury A. Budkov, Nikolay V. Brilliantov
Generation of mechanical force regulated by external electric field is studied both theoretically and by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The force arises in deformable bodies…
Theoretical Approaches to Neutral and Charged Polymer Brushes
Ali Naji, Christian Seidel, Roland R. Netz
Neutral or charged polymers that are densely end-grafted to surfaces form brush-like structures and are highly stretched under good-solvent conditions. We discuss and compare relev…
Non-linear Osmotic Brush Regime: Experiments, Simulations and Scaling Theory
Heiko Ahrens, Stephan Foerster, Christiane A. Helm +4
We experimentally and theoretically consider highly condensed planar brushes made of charged polymers. Using x-ray reflectivity on polyelectrolytes which are anchored at the water-…
Non-linear Osmotic Brush Regime: Simulations and mean-field theory
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz, Christian Seidel
We investigate polyelectrolyte brushes in the osmotic regime using both theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. In the simulations at moderate Bjerrum le…
Equilibrium Charge Distribution on Annealed Polyelectrolytes
Tiziano Zito, Christian Seidel
Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the non-uniform equilibrium charge distribution along a single annealed polyelectrolyte chain under theta-solvent conditions and with adde…
