Measurement of Unusual Transition Phenomena of Polymers Precisely Annealed

Biocatalytic Synthesis of Polymers of Precisely Defined Structures

Adsorption of annealed branched polymers on curved surfaces.

The behavior of annealed branched polymers near adsorbing surfaces plays a fundamental role in many biological and industrial processes. Most importantly single stranded RNA in solution tends to fold up and self-bind to form a highly branched structure. Using a mean field theory, we both perturbatively and numerically examine the adsorption of branched polymers on surfaces of several different ...

Non-equilibrium Annealed Damage Phenomena: A Path Integral Approach

We investigate the applicability of the path integral of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to non-equilibrium damage phenomena. As an example, a fiber-bundle model with a thermal noise and a fiber-bundle model with a decay of fibers are considered. Initially, we develop an analogy with the Gibbs formalism of non-equilibrium states. Later, we switch from the approach of non-equilibrium state...

Theoretical study of kinetics of zipping phenomena in biomimetic polymers.

In this work we use theory to obtain a mathematical expression for a time correlation function c(l,t) that provides insight into the zipping phenomena along a polymer going through a conformational transition. The polymer is modeled as an Ising-like chain with each segment being in one of two states: bound (+1) or unbound (-1). The time correlation function c(l,t) predicts the correlation betwe...

the role of spillover phenomena in transition of responsible environmental behavior from home to public sphere

introduction study of environmental behavior and the factors affecting it, is one of the most fundamental issues of interest to researchers in the interdisciplinary fields including environmental field. in this regard, the basic objective of this paper is to study of environmental behavior spillover. one of the determinant factors of forming behavior in the field of environment is “place”. indi...
