Chain Length Dependence on Folding Transition of a Semiflexible Homo-polymer Chain: Appearance of a Core-Shell Structure
Yuji Higuchi, Takahiro Sakaue, Kenichi Yoshikawa
The folding transition of single, long semiflexible polymers was studied with special emphasis on the chain length effect using Monte Carlo simulations. While a relatively short ch…
Reversible photo-switching in a cell-sized vesicle
Tsutomu Hamada, Yuko T. Sato, Takeshi Nagasaki +1
A photosensitive amphiphilic molecule can switch the shape of an assembled vesicle as determined by microscopic observation. Photo-isomerization induces a change in membrane fluctu…
Structural changes in block copolymer solution under shear flow as determined by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics
Igor Rychkov, Kenichi Yoshikawa
A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics computer simulation on microsegregated solutions of symmetrical diblock copolymers is reported. As the polymer concentration increases, the syst…
