Osmotic pressure of compressed lattice knots [PDF]
A numerical simulation shows that the osmotic pressure of compressed lattice knots is a function of knot type, and so of entanglements. The osmotic pressure for the unknot goes through a negative minimum at low concentrations, but in the case of non-trivial knot types $3_1$ and $4_1$ it is negative for low concentrations.

The physics of osmotic pressure [PDF]
AbstractThe proper application of the virial theorem to the origin of osmotic pressure provides a simple, vivid and complete explanation of the physical processes involved; osmosis is driven by differential solvent pressures. This simple and intuitive notion is widely disregarded, but the virial theorem allows an exact formulation and unifies a number ...

Osmotic pressure between arbitrarily charged surfaces: a revisited approach [PDF]
The properties of ionic solutions between charged surfaces are often studied within the Poisson-Boltzmann framework, by finding the electrostatic potential profile. For example, the osmotic pressure between two charged planar surfaces can be evaluated by solving coupled equations for the electrostatic potential and osmotic pressure.

Giant osmotic pressure in the forced wetting of hydrophobic nanopores [PDF]
The forced intrusion of water in hydrophobic nanoporous pulverulent material is of interest for quick storage of energy. With nanometric pores the energy storage capacity is controlled by interfacial phenomena.

Universality of Osmotic Equation of State in Star Polymer Solutions [PDF]
We experimentally measure the osmotic pressures of linear polymers and three-, four-, and eight-arm star polymers in a good solvent via membrane osmometry. These results reveal that the osmotic equations of state in the star polymer solutions are universally described by the same scaling function that describes linear polymer solutions.
