Directed Polymer -- Directed Percolation Transition
We study the relation between the directed polymer and the directed percolation models, for the case of a disordered energy landscape where the energies are taken from bimodal distribution.

Self-crimping bicomponent nanofibres electrospun from polyacrylonitrile and elastomeric polyurethane
Two polymer solutions were brought together via a microfluidic device and subjected to an electrospinning process. The two polymer solutions flowed into the microfluidic channel side-by-side with very little intermixing due to their laminar nature.

Drift of a polymer chain in disordered media
We consider the drift of a polymer chain in a disordered medium, which is caused by a constant force applied to the one end of the polymer, under neglecting the thermal fluctuations.

Dynamic scaling theory of the forced translocation of a semi-flexible polymer through a nanopore
We present a theoretical description of the dynamics of a semi-flexible polymer being pulled through a nanopore by an external force acting at the pore.

Accurate description of bulk and interfacial properties in colloid-polymer mixtures
Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of a phase-separating colloid-polymer mixture are performed and compared to recent experiments. The approach is based on effective interaction potentials in which the central monomers of self-avoiding polymer chains ...

Shape Fluctuations of a Droplet Containing a Polymer
We consider the problem of an ideal polymer confined in a droplet. When the droplet radius is smaller than the (unconfined) polymer radius of gyration, the polymer entropy will depend on the droplet shape.

Free Energy Barrier for Electric Field Driven Polymer Entry into Nanoscale Channels
Free energy barrier for entry of a charged polymer into a nanoscale channel by a driving electric field is studied theoretically and using molecular dynamics simulations. Dependence of the barrier height on the polymer length, the driving field strength,

HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY AND SOIL-WATER DIFFUSION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO GYPSUM AND CLAY CONTENT OF SOILS TREATED WITH PEAT-MOSS AND POLYMER [PDF]
An experiment was conducted to estimate hydraulic conductivity, soil-water diffusion, and its relationship to gypsum and clay content of soils treated with peat-moss and polymer. Two soils were used, the first containing 410 gm.
