Polymers pushing Polymers: Polymer Mixtures in Thermodynamic Equilibrium with a Pore [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 We investigate polymer partitioning from polymer mixtures into nanometer size cavities by formulating an equation of state for a binary polymer mixture assuming that only one (smaller) of the two polymer components can penetrate the cavity. Deriving the partitioning equilibrium equations and solving them numerically allows us to introduce the concept ...

How to derive and parameterize effective potentials in colloid-polymer mixtures [PDF]
Macromolecules 35, 1860 (2002), 2002 Polymer chains in colloid-polymer mixtures can be coarse-grained by replacing them with single soft particles interacting via effective polymer-polymer and polymer-colloid pair potentials. Here we describe in detail how Ornstein-Zernike inversion techniques, originally developed for atomic and molecular fluids, can be generalized to complex fluids and ...

Pressure Driven Flow of Polymer Solutions in Nanoscale Slit Pores [PDF]
, 2006 Polymer solutions subject to pressure driven flow and in nanoscale slit pores are systematically investigated using the dissipative particle dynamics approach. We investigated the effect of molecular weight, polymer concentration and flow rate on the profiles across the channel of the fluid and polymer velocities, polymers density, and the three ...

Mechanochemically accessing a challenging-to-synthesize depolymerizable polymer
Nature Communications, 2023 Polymers with low ceiling temperatures (Tc) are highly desirable as they can depolymerize under mild conditions, but they typically suffer from demanding synthetic conditions and poor stability.
