Excluded volume effects on semiflexible ring polymers.
Two-dimensional semiflexible polymer rings are studied both by imaging circular DNA adsorbed on a mica surface and by Monte Carlo simulations of phantom polymers as well as of polymers with finite thickness. Comparison of size and shape of the different models over the full range of flexibilities shows that excluded volume caused by finite thickness induces an anisotropic increase of the main a...
متن کاملInteraction potential between two spheres mediated by excluded volume polymers.
The interaction between two spheres in a solution of nonadsorbing polymers, with excluded volume interaction, is calculated from the depletion layers around the spheres using the generalized Gibbs adsorption equation. By combining the bulk correlation length with the curvature-dependent interfacial tension between a sphere and the surrounding polymer solution [Hanke, Eisenriegler, and Dietrich,...
متن کاملNon-entropic theory of rubber elasticity: flexible chains with weak excluded-volume interactions
Strain energy density is calculated for a network of flexible chains with weak excluded-volume interactions (whose energy is small compared with thermal energy). Constitutive equations are developed for an incompressible network of chains with segment interactions at finite deformations. These relations are applied to the study of uniaxial and equi-biaxial tension (compression), where the stres...
متن کاملThe end-to-end distribution function for a flexible chain with weak excluded-volume interactions
An explicit expression is derived for the distribution function of end-to-end vectors and for the mean square end-to-end distance of a flexible chain with excluded-volume interactions. The Hamiltonian for a flexible chain with weak intra-chain interactions is determined by two small parameters: the ratio ε of the energy of interaction between segments (within a sphere whose radius coincides wit...
متن کاملCorrection and Reassessment of Intrinsic Viscosity and The Universal Calibration Method - A Bridge from Polymers to Small Molecules
The current definition of intrinsic viscosity ([riD, and its application in the universal calibration method, applies to polymeric materials with molecular weight (MW) >>1,000. However, there have been numerous discussions regarding the [11]of low MW oligomers. Difficulties can be encountered at very low MW, because the [1"1] in some cases becomes negative, which in theory is impossible. A new ...
