We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of soft polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) and polyacrylamide(PA) polymer gels prepared with trapped bodies (latex spheres or maghemite nanoparticles). We show that the anomalous…
Understanding the dynamics of short-range correlations is a central challenge in strongly interacting Fermi gases. In ultracold gases, these correlations are quantified by the contact parameter, yet measurements to date have been limited to…
The correlation between the fast cage dynamics and structural relaxation is investigated in a model polymer system. It is shown that the cage vibration amplitude, as expressed by the Debye-Waller factor, and the relaxation time…
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 molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We studied coarse-grained…
Molecular dynamics simulations of a short-chain polymer melt between two brush-covered surfaces under shear have been performed. The end-grafted polymers which constitute the brush have the same chemical properties as the free chains in the…
The interfacial tension between immiscible liquids is studied as a function of a model linear surfactant length and concentration using coarse grained, dissipative particle dynamics numerical simulations. The adsorption isotherms obtained…
In this paper, we consider molecular communications in one-dimensional flow-induced diffusion channels with a perfectly absorbing receiver. In such channels, the random propagation delay until the molecules are absorbed follows an inverse…
In this paper we establish a new efficient method for simulating polymer-solvent systems which combines a lattice Boltzmann approach for the fluid with a continuum molecular dynamics (MD) model for the polymer chain. The two parts are…
Based on the random phase approximation, we develop a molecular theory of self-coacervation in zwitterionic polymer solutions. We show that the interplay between the volume interactions of the monomeric units and electrostatic correlations…
The linear response description for impurity diffusion in a granular fluid undergoing homogeneous cooling is developed in the preceeding paper. The formally exact Einstein and Green-Kubo expressions for the self-diffusion coefficient are…
Numerical simulations are performed for isolated cyclic chains with excluded volume. Data are reported for the form factor, S(x), where x is the reduced scattering variable, and also for averages and distributions of the distance between…
Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the dynamic properties of melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers and compared to melts of linear polymers. The longest rings were composed of N=1600 monomers per chain which…
We study the first passage time for a polymer, that we call the narrow encounter time (NETP), to reach a small target located on the surface of a microdomain. The polymer is modeled as a Freely Joint Chain (beads connected by springs with a…
We calculate the short time and the long time diffusion coefficient of a spherical tracer particle in a polymer solution in the low density limit by solving the Smoluchowski equation for a two-particle system and applying a generalized…
Self-avoiding walks are studied on the 3-simplex fractal lattice as a model of linear polymer conformations in a dilute, non-homogeneous solution. A model is supplemented with bending energies and attractive-interaction energies between…
We present a comprehensive investigation of polymer diffusion in the semidilute regime by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Using single-labeled polystyrene chains, FCS leads to the…
In purely normal elastic rough surface contact problems, Persson's theory of contact shows that the evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of contact pressure with the magnification is governed by a diffusion equation. However,…
We report a high energy-resolution neutron backscattering study, combined with in-situ diffraction, to investigate slow molecular motions on nanosecond time scales in the fluid phase of phospholipid bilayers of…
Whereas the first part of this paper dealt with the relaxation in the beta-regime, this part investigates the final (alpha) relaxation of a simulated polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains above the critical temperature Tc of…
We investigate the diffusion of an intruder in a granular gas, with both components modeled as smooth hard spheres, both immersed in a low viscosity carrier fluid to form a particle-laden suspension. In this system, dissipative particle…
