Field-induced phase transitions in ferro-antiferromagnetic diblock copolymers
Alberto Raiola, Emanuele Locatelli, Davide Marenduzzo +1
We study the equilibrium properties of a model of magnetic diblock copolymer where each monomer is decorated with an Ising-like spin. Spins interact ferromagnetically within each b…
Topological weight and structural diversity of polydisperse chromatin loop networks
Andrea Bonato, Enrico Carlon, Sergey Kitaev +2
Current biophysical models for transcriptionally active chromatin view this as a polymer with sticky sites, mimicking transcription units such as promoters and enhancers which inte…
Equilibrium phases and phase transitions in multicritical magnetic polymers
Alberto Raiola, Emanuele Locatelli, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Magnetic polymers are examples of composite soft materials in which the competition between the large configurational entropy of the soft substrate (polymer) and the magnetic inter…
Diffusive evaporation dynamics in polymer solutions is ubiquitous
Max Huisman, Wilson C. K. Poon, Patrick B. Warren +2
Recent theory and experiments have shown how the buildup of a high-concentration polymer layer at a one-dimensional solvent-air interface can lead to an evaporation rate that scale…
