Stretching of polymers in a turbulent environment [PDF]
, 2002 The interaction of polymers with small-scale velocity gradients can trigger a coil-stretch transition in the polymers. We analyze this transition within a direct numerical simulation of shear turbulence with an Oldroyd-B model for the polymer.

Wettability and ζ potentials of a series of methacrylate polymers and copolymers [PDF]
, 1985 Polymers and copolymers of different methacrylates were synthesized and coated on glass slides. The surfaces of the polymer films were characterized by their water contact angles and potentials using the Wilhelmy plate technique and streaming potential ...

Phase transitions and noise crosscorrelations in a model of directed polymers in a disordered medium
, 2000 We show that effective interactions mediated by disorder between two directed polymers can be modelled as the crosscorrelation of noises in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equations satisfied by the respective free energies of these polymers.

Ratiometric nanothermometer in vivo based on triplet sensitized upconversion
Nature Communications, 2018 Though luminescence imaging is a promising approach for contactless thermometry in vivo, the low thermal sensitivity of existing thermometers limits its potential.

Flory-Huggins theory for athermal mixtures of hard spheres and larger flexible polymers
, 2002 A simple analytic theory for mixtures of hard spheres and larger polymers with excluded volume interactions is developed. The mixture is shown to exhibit extensive immiscibility. For large polymers with strong excluded volume interactions, the density of
