Entropic Unmixing in Nematic Blends of Semiflexible Polymers
Andrey Milchev, Sergei A. Egorov, Jiarul Midya +2
Binary mixtures of semiflexible polymers with the same chain length but different persistence lengths separate into two coexisting different nematic phases when the osmotic pressur…
When does Wenzel's extension of Young's equation for the contact angle of droplets apply? A density functional study
Sergei A. Egorov, Kurt Binder
he contact angle of a liquid droplet on a surface under partial wetting conditions differs for a nanoscopically rough or periodically corrugated surface from its value for a perfec…
Phase behavior of flexible and semiflexible polymers in solvents of varying quality
Jiarul Midya, Sergei A. Egorov, Kurt Binder +1
The interplay of nematic order and phase separation in solutions of semiflexible polymers in solvents of variable quality is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and mol…
Semiflexible Polymers Under Good Solvent Conditions Interacting With Repulsive Walls
Sergei A. Egorov, Andrey Milchev, Peter Virnau +1
Solutions of semiflexible polymers confined by repulsive planar walls are studied by density functional theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations, to clarify the competition betwee…
Anomalous fluctuations of nematic order in solutions of semiflexible polymers
Sergei A. Egorov, Andrey Milchev, Kurt Binder
The nematic ordering in semiflexible polymers with contour length exceeding their persistence length is described by a confinement of the polymers in a cylinder of rad…
