Force-extension relations for polymers with sliding links.
Topological entanglements in polymers are mimicked by sliding rings (slip links) that enforce pair contacts between monomers. We study the force-extension curve for linear polymers in which slip links create additional loops of variable sizes. For a single loop in a phantom chain, we obtain exact expressions for the average end-to-end separation. The linear response to a small force is related ...
متن کاملA new method for extending the range of conductive polymer sensors for contact force
This paper describes a technique for extending the force range of thin conductive polymer force sensors used for measuring contact force. These sensors are conventionally used for measuring force by changing electrical resistance when they are compressed. The new method involves measuring change in electrical resistance when the flexible sensor, which is sensitive to both compression and bendin...
متن کاملToward a Force Spectroscopy of Polymer Surfaces
The adhesional forces between a series of polymer film surfaces and chemicallywell-defined atomic force microscopy tips have been measured and found to depend strongly on the chemical nature of both probe and sample surfaces. For a given series of polymers, the ranking in adhesion strength was markedly different for polar and nonpolar probes, irrespective of the precise chemical composition of ...
متن کاملModified Polyethylenimine: Self Assemble Nanoparticle Forming Polymer for pDNA Delivery
Objective Polyethylenimine (PEI), a readily available synthetic polycation which has high transfection efficiency owing to its buffering capacity was introduced for transfection a few years ago. But it has been reported that PEI is cytotoxic in many cell lines. In this study, in order to enhance the transfection efficiency of 10 kDa PEI and reduce its toxicity, hydrophobic residues were grafte...
متن کاملDynamic Control of Internal Force for Visco-Elastic Contact Grasps
This paper deals with robotic grasps exhibiting viscoelastic contact interactions with the manipulated object. Such interactions are frequent in advanced robotic applications since in many cases, i.e. when a great precision is needed, elasticity cannot be neglected. This is particularly true in medical applications, as in tele-surgery or in laparoscopy, where precision is obviously basic. The c...
