Simulation and theory of fluid demixing and interfacial tension of mixtures of colloids and non-ideal polymers [PDF]
, 2005 An extension of the Asakura-Oosawa-Vrij model of hard sphere colloids and non-adsorbing polymers, that takes polymer non-ideality into account through a repulsive stepfunction pair potential between polymers, is studied with grand canonical Monte Carlo ...

New Polymer Tensiometers: Measuring Matric Pressures Down to the Wilting Point [PDF]
, 2007 Tensiometers are commonly used for measuring soil water matric pressures. Unfortunately, the water-filled reservoir of conventional tensiometers limits their applicability to soil water matric pressures above approximately –0.085 MPa. Tensiometers filled

Polymer Translocation Through a Long Nanopore
, 2002 Polymer translocation through a nanopore in a membrane investigated theoretically. Recent experiments on voltage-driven DNA and RNA translocations through a nanopore indicate that the size and geometry of the pore are important factors in polymer ...

In-situ measurements of the optical absorption of dioxythiophene-based conjugated polymers
, 2011 Conjugated polymers can be reversibly doped by electrochemical means. This doping introduces new sub-bandgap optical absorption bands in the polymer while decreasing the bandgap absorption. To study this behavior, we have prepared an electrochemical cell

Globule-like conformation and enhanced diffusion of active polymers [PDF]
, 2018 We study the dynamics and conformation of polymers composed by active monomers. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations we show that when the direction of the self-propulsion of each monomer is aligned with the backbone, the polymer undergoes a coil-to-

Colloid-Induced Polymer Compression [PDF]
, 2002 We consider a model mixture of hard colloidal spheres and non-adsorbing polymer chains in a theta solvent. The polymer component is modelled as a polydisperse mixture of effective spheres, mutually noninteracting but excluded from the colloids, with ...
