Mesophase formation in two-component cylindrical bottle-brush polymers
Igor Erukhimovich, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Wolfgang Paul +1
When two types of side chains (A,B) are densely grafted to a (stiff) backbone and the resulting bottle-brush polymer is in a solution under poor solvent conditions, an incompatibil…
Phase equilibria and charge fractionation in polydisperse polyelectrolyte solutions
Igor Erukhimovich, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
A new type of phase separation in the polyelectrolyte solutions consisting of several types of charged macromolecules differing in their degree of ionization is predicted via a gen…
Non-Conventional Structural Phase Transitions and Amphiphobic Matter
Igor Erukhimovich
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, via a phenomenological consideration I show that, equally with the conventional phases (body-centred cubic, hexagonal planar and lamellar)…
Theory of Sol-Gel Transition in Thermoreversible Gels with due Regard for Fundamental Role of Mesoscopic Cyclization Effects. I. Thermodynamic and Structural Characteristics of Gel Phase
Igor Erukhimovich, Michael V. Thamm, Alexander V. Ermoshkin
The sol-gel transition (SGT), upon which the infinite cluster (IC) of thermoreversibly bonded particles (gel fraction) appears against a background of a set of finite clusters (sol…
Localization transition of random copolymers at interfaces
Semjon Stepanow, Jens-Uwe Sommer, Igor Ya. Erukhimovich
We consider adsorption of random copolymer chains onto an interface within the model of Garel et al. Europhysics Letters 8, 9 (1989). By using the replica method the adsorption of…
