BRANCHED POLYMERS ON BRANCHED POLYMERS [PDF]
We study an ensemble of branched polymers which are embedded on other branched polymers. This is a toy model which allows us to study explicitly and in detail the reaction of a statistical system to its underlying geometrical structure, a problem of interest in the study of the interaction of matter and quantized gravity. We find a phase transition at

Compared with polymer-modified ordinary-Portland-cement-based materials, research on cement materials based on polymer-modified sulfoaluminate is still in the preliminary stage and lacks an understanding of the mechanism of the interaction interface. The

Driven Transport of Dilute Polymer Solutions through Porous Media Comprising Interconnected Cavities
Driven transport of dilute polymer solutions through porous media has been simulated using a recently proposed novel dissipative particle dynamics method satisfying the no-penetration and no-slip boundary conditions.

Zwitterionic polymers emerge as very useful materials for applications in antifouling surfaces. The properties of these polymers can be tuned by variations of the chemical structure of the corresponding monomer.

Electrocatalytic Depolymerization of Self-Immolative Poly(Dithiothreitol) Derivatives
We report the use of electrogenerated anthraquinone radical anion (AQ•−) to trigger fast catalytic depolymerization of polymers derived from poly(dithiothreitol) (pDTT)—a self-immolative polymer (SIP) with a backbone of dithiothreitols connected with ...

Unprecedented Scissor Effect of Macromolecular Cross-linkers on the Glass Transition Temperature of Poly(N-vinylimidazole), Crystallinity Suppression of Poly(tetrahydrofuran) and Molecular Mobility by Solid State NMR in Poly(N-vinylimidazole)-l-poly(tetrahydrofuran) Conetworks [PDF]
Unexpected correlations have been found between structural parameters and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of poly(N-vinylimidazole) (PVIm) and crystallinity of poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) in a series of novel, unique PVIm-l-PTHF amphiphilic ...

Phase stability and dynamics of entangled polymer-nanoparticle composites. [PDF]
Nanoparticle-polymer composites, or polymer-nanoparticle composites (PNCs), exhibit unusual mechanical and dynamical features when the particle size approaches the random coil dimensions of the host polymer.

Statistical Thermodynamics of Polymer Quantum Systems [PDF]
Polymer quantum systems are mechanical models quantized similarly as loop quantum gravity. It is actually in quantizing gravity that the polymer term holds proper as the quantum geometry excitations yield a reminiscent of a polymer material.
