Elastic moduli renormalization in self interacting stretchable polyelectrolytes
We study the effect of intersegment interactions on the effective bending and stretching moduli of a semiflexible polymer chain with a finite stretching modulus. For an interaction potential of a screened Debye-Hückel type renormalization of the stretching modulus is derived on the same level of approximation as the celebrated Odijk-Skolnick-Fixman result for the bending modulus. The presence o...

متن کاملInteracting rigid polyelectrolytes
The persistence length of charged linear polymers in semidilute solution must increase substantially upon addition of salt. For very long polymers the persistence length increases as the salt concentration to the 5/2 power provided this salt concentration is not too large. In deriving this scaling we correct our previous prediction in light of a recent paper by Barrat and Joanny, and in agreeme...
متن کاملCanonical elastic moduli
Every linear planar anisotropic elastic material is equivalent, under a linear change of coordinates, to an orthotropic material. Consequently, up to linear changes of variables, there are just two "canonical" planar elastic moduli which determine the properties of any linearly elastic material. Extensions to three-dimensional elasticity and applications are indicated.
متن کاملCharge Regulation of Interacting Weak Polyelectrolytes
We introduce a generalized nonuniform mean-field formalism to describe the dissociation of weak rodlike polyelectrolytes (PEs). Our approach allows for two-sublattice symmetry breaking which in titration curves is associated with a plateau for intermediate dissociation degrees. We first test our method in the case of a single weak PE by comparison with exact enumeration studies and show that it...
