Binding of molecules to DNA and other semiflexible polymers
Haim Diamant, David Andelman
A theory is presented for the binding of small molecules such as surfactants to semiflexible polymers. The persistence length is assumed to be large compared to the monomer size bu…
Self-Assembly in Mixtures of Polymers and Small Associating Molecules
H. Diamant, D. Andelman
The interaction between a flexible polymer in good solvent and smaller associating solute molecules such as amphiphiles (surfactants) is considered theoretically. Attractive correl…
Kinetics of Surfactant Adsorption at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces: Surfactant Mixtures
G. Ariel, H. Diamant, D. Andelman
The adsorption at the interface between an aqueous solution of several surface-active agents and another fluid (air or oil) phase is addressed theoretically. We derive the kinetic…
Onset of Self-Assembly in Polymer-Surfactant Systems
Haim Diamant, David Andelman
The onset of self-assembly in a dilute aqueous solution containing a flexible polymer and surfactant is theoretically studied. Focusing on the effect of the surfactant on polymer c…
