Stretching dynamics of semiflexible polymers.
We analyze the nonequilibrium dynamics of single inextensible semiflexible biopolymers as stretching forces are applied at the ends. Based on different (contradicting) heuristic arguments, various scaling laws have been proposed for the propagation speed of the backbone tension which is induced in response to stretching. Here, we employ a newly developed unified theory to systematically substan...
متن کاملNon-Affine Shear Modulus in Entangled Networks of Semiflexible Polymers
We investigate the viscoelastic properties of entangled networks of semiflexible polymers. At intermediate time scales the elastic response of these networks to shear deformation is described by the plateau modulus G. Different scaling laws with polymer concentration c have been proposed based on the assumption that the deformation field is affine on all length scales. We develop a numerical ap...
متن کاملEnd-monomer Dynamics in Semiflexible Polymers.
Spurred by an experimental controversy in the literature, we investigate the end-monomer dynamics of semiflexible polymers through Brownian hydrodynamic simulations and dynamic mean-field theory. Precise experimental observations over the last few years of end-monomer dynamics in the diffusion of double-stranded DNA have given conflicting results: one study indicated an unexpected Rouse-like sc...
متن کاملGlobal cross-over dynamics of semiflexible polymers
We present a mean-field dynamical theory for semiflexible polymers which can precisely capture, without fitting parameters, recent fluorescence correlation spectroscopy results on single monomer kinetics of DNA strands in solution. Our approach works globally, covering three decades of strand length and five decades of time: it includes the complex cross-overs occurring between stiffness-domina...
متن کاملRheology and Dynamics of Associative Polymers in Shear and Extension: Theory and Experiment
We investigate the steady and transient shear and extensional rheological properties of a series of model hydrophobically modified ethoxylate-urethane (HEUR) polymers with varying degrees of hydrophobicity. A new nonlinear two-species network model for these telechelic polymers is described which incorporates appropriate molecular mechanisms for the creation and destruction of elastically-activ...
