Theory of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts
Oleg V. Borisov, Oleg V. Shavykin, Ekaterina B. Zhulina
A mean-field approach is used to analyze equilibrium conformations of polyelectrolyte dendrigrafts comprising ionically charged dendrons attached by focal points to a flexible line…
Selective colloid transport across planar polymer brushes
Mikhail Y. Laktionov, Ekaterina B. Zhulina, Leonid Klushin +2
Polymer brushes are attractive as surface coatings for a wide range of applications, from fundamental research to everyday life, and also play important roles in biological systems…
Non-linear elasticity effects and stratification in brushes of branched polyelectrolytes
Inna O. Lebedeva, Oleg V. Shavykin, Igor M. Neelov +3
Brushes formed by arm-tethered starlike polyelectrolytes may exhibit internal segregation into weakly and strongly extended populations (stratified two-layer structure) when strong…
Sensitivity, Specificity and the Hybridization Isotherms of DNA Chips
A. Halperin, A. Buhot, E. B. Zhulina
Competitve hybridization, at the surface and in the bulk, lowers the sensitivity of DNA chips. Competitive surface hybridization occurs when different targets can hybridize with th…
Self-Consistent Field Theory of Brushes of Neutral Water-Soluble Polymers
Vladimir A. Baulin, Ekaterina B. Zhulina, Avi Halperin
The Self-Consistent Field theory of brushes of neutral water-soluble polymers described by two-state models is formulated in terms of the effective Flory interaction parameter $χ_{…
