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…
Lateral hydrodynamics in supported membranes: The Evans-Sackmann model and its extensions
Yuto Hosaka, David Andelman, Shigeyuki Komura
We review the theoretical development and modern applications of the Evans-Sackmann hydrodynamic model for lateral transport in supported fluid membranes. We first cover the origin…
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.…
Covariant Onsager and Onsager-Machlup principles for active and inertial dynamics
Kento Yasuda, Bin Zheng, Zhongqiang Xiong +5
The Onsager principle provides a variational route to the phenomenological equations of dissipative dynamics through the minimization of the Rayleighian. We develop a covariant for…
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…
