Irreversible adsorption from dilute polymer solutions.
We study irreversible polymer adsorption from dilute solutions theoretically. Universal features of the resultant non-equilibrium layers are predicted. Two broad cases are considered, distinguished by the magnitude of the local monomer-surface sticking rate Q: chemisorption (very small Q) and physisorption (large Q). Early stages of layer formation entail single-chain adsorption. While single-c...
متن کاملMolecular simulation of adsorption from dilute solutions.
Adsorption of biomolecules on surfaces is a perennial and general challenge relevant to many fields in biotechnology. A change of the Helmholtz free energy DeltaA takes place when a molecule becomes adsorbed out of a bulk solution. The purpose of our investigations is to explore routes for the calculation of DeltaA by molecular simulations. DeltaA can be obtained both by integration over the me...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional turbulence of dilute polymer solutions.
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that, at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are passively transported, the probability distribution of polymer elongation has a power law tail: Its slope is related to the statistics of finite-time Lyapu...
متن کاملTheory of semi-dilute polymer solutions
2014 Some properties of semi-dilute poor and good solvent polymer solutions are examined within the framework of the field-theoretic formulism. The uncontrollable polydispersivity inherent in the field-theoretic formulism is shown to produce no errors if the quantity under investigation is molecular weight independent. A renormalization group cross-over calculation correct to order 03B5 is perf...
متن کاملSpectra of turbulence in dilute polymer solutions
Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow is investigated. We establish power-law spectra of velocity, that are not associated with a flux of a conserved quantity, in two cases. First, such spectrum is formed in the elastic waves range of high Reynolds number turbulence of polymer solutions above the coil–stretch transition. Second, such spectrum is...
