Phase transitions and microphases in elastomers. I. Emergence of stable domains
Manu Mannattil, Haim Diamant, David Andelman
The paper explains how microphase separation in swollen elastomers arises from a mismatch between elastic and thermodynamic length scales, using conventional elasticity theory with…
Collapse of a single polymer chain: Effects of chain stiffness and attraction range
Yanyan Zhu, Haim Diamant, David Andelman
Chain-like macromolecules in solution, whether biological or synthetic, transform from an extended conformation to a compact one when temperature or other system parameters change.…
The effects of ionic valency and size asymmetry on counterion adsorption
Or Ben Yaakov, Haim Diamant, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We study the effect of asymmetry in solvent and ionic size on the equilibrium properties of multivalent ionic solutions near a charged surface. For a single ionic species in soluti…
Theory of Microphase Separation in Elastomers
Manu Mannattil, Haim Diamant, David Andelman
Inspired by recent experiments, we present a phase-field model of microphase separation in an elastomer swollen with a solvent. The imbalance between the molecular scale of demixin…
Second Law of Thermodynamics without Einstein Relation
Benjamin Sorkin, Haim Diamant, Gil Ariel +1
Materials that are constantly driven out of thermodynamic equilibrium, such as active and living systems, typically violate the Einstein relation. This may arise from active contri…
