Ordering nanoparticles with polymer brushes [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2017 Ordering nanoparticles into a desired super-structure is often crucial for their technological applications. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the assembly of nanoparticles in a polymer brush randomly grafted to a planar surface as the solvent evaporates.

Cooperative Interactions between Different Classes of Disordered Proteins Play a Functional Role in the Nuclear Pore Complex of Baker's Yeast. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Nucleocytoplasmic transport is highly selective, efficient, and is regulated by a poorly understood mechanism involving hundreds of disordered FG nucleoporin proteins (FG nups) lining the inside wall of the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Switchable Friction Using Contacts of Stimulus-Responsive and Nonresponding Swollen Polymer Brushes [PDF]
, 2014 Stimulus-responsive (SR), solvated polymers can switch between an expanded state and a collapsed state via external stimuli. Using molecular dynamics simulations, I show that such SR polymers can be employed to control the frictional response between two

Cylindrical polymer brushes [PDF]
Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 2005 AbstractIn recent years, research on cylindrical polymer brushes (or molecular bottlebrushes) has received significant attention. In this article, we discuss various strategies for their synthesis and the unique properties arising from their regular multibranched structure.
