The theory of the dynamics of polymers in solution is developed coming from the hydrodynamic theory of the Brownian motion (BM) and the Rouse-Zimm (RZ) model. It is shown that the time correlation functions describing the polymer motion…
We propose a theory of the dynamics of polymers in dilute solution, in which the popular Zimm and Rouse models are limiting cases of infinitely large and small draining parameter. The equation of motion for the polymer segments beads) is…
The Rouse-Zimm equation for the position vectors of beads mapping the polymer is generalized by taking into account the viscous aftereffect and the hydrodynamic noise. For the noise, the random fluctuations of the hydrodynamic tensor of…
The dynamics of flexible polymers in dilute solution is usually described in terms of the pure Rouse or Zimm bead-spring models assuming continuous distribution of the internal relaxation modes. We show that this approach may lead to…
Spurred by an experimental controversy in the literature, we investigate the end-monomer dynamics of semiflexible polymers through Brownian hydrodynamic simulations and dynamic mean-field theory. Precise experimental observations over the…
The Rouse model can be regarded as the standard model to describe the dynamics of a short polymer chain under melt conditions. In this contribution, we explicitly check one of the fundamental assumptions of this model, namely that of a…
The Zimm equation for the position vector of a polymer segment is generalized taking into account the effect of viscous memory. The Oseen tensor is built on the basis of the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equation. After the preliminary…
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics of the end-to-end vector and relies on the preaveraging of…
The influence of an external flow on the relaxation dynamics of a single polymer is investigated theoretically and numerically. We show that a pronounced dynamical slowdown occurs in the vicinity of the coil-stretch transition, especially…
In this work we study the noise induced effects on the dynamics of short polymers crossing a potential barrier, in the presence of a metastable state. An improved version of the Rouse model for a flexible polymer has been adopted to mimic…
The screening of hydrodynamic interactions (HI) essentially affects macroscopic properties of polymeric solutions. This screening depends not only on the polymer concentration but has a dynamic nature. In the present work, a bead-spring…
Some recent results on the rotational dynamics of polymers are reviewed and extended. We focus here on the relaxation of a polymer, either flexible or semiflexible, initially wrapped around a rigid rod. We also study the steady polymer…
We present a unified scaling theory for the dynamics of monomers for dilute solutions of semiflexible polymers under good solvent conditions in the free draining limit. Our theory encompasses the well-known regimes of mean square…
The dynamics of ring polymer melts are studied via molecular dynamics simulations of the Kremer-Grest bead-spring model. Rouse mode analysis is performed in comparison with linear polymers by changing the chain length. Rouse-like behavior…
The emergent fluctuating hydrodynamics of a viscoelastic fluid modeled by the multiparticle collision dynamics (MPC) approach is studied. The fluid is composed of flexible, Gaussian phantom polymers, which interact by local…
Polymer melts with chains undergoing reversible crosslinking have distinctively favorable dynamic properties, e.g., self healing and reprocessability. In these situations there are two relevant elementary time scales: the segmental and the…
The localization kinetics of a regular block-copolymer of total length $N$ and block size $M$ at a selective liquid-liquid interface is studied in the limit of strong segregation between hydrophobic and polar segments in the chain. We…
The conformational and dynamical properties of active polymers in solution are determined by the nature of the activity, and the behavior of polymers with self-propelled, active Brownian particle-type monomers differs qualitatively from…
We study the dynamics of a dilute solution of rigid rodlike polymers in a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number by means of numerical simulations of a simple rheological model. We show that the rotational dynamics of polymers destabilizes…
We study the conformation and dynamics of a single polymer chain that is pulled by a constant force applied at its one end with the other end free. Such a situation is relevant to the growing technology of manipulating individual…
