Self-Consistent Field study of Polyelectrolyte Brushes
We formulate a self-consistent field theory for polyelectrolyte brushes in the presence of counterions. We numerically solve the self-consistent field equations and study the monomer density profile, the distribution of counterions, and the total charge distribution. We study the scaling relations for the brush height and compare them to the prediction of other theories. We find a weak dependen...
متن کاملA model of ideal elastomeric gels for polyelectrolyte gels.
The concept of the ideal elastomeric gel is extended to polyelectrolyte gels and verified using a polyacrylamide-co-acrylic acid hydrogel as a model material system. A comparison between mixing and ion osmosis shows that the mixing osmosis is larger than the ion osmosis for small swelling ratios, while the ion osmosis dominates for large swelling ratios. We show further that the non-Gaussian ch...
متن کاملA Dynamic Model of Polyelectrolyte Gels
We derive a model of the coupled mechanical and electrochemical effects of polyelectrolyte gels. We assume that the gel, which is immersed in a fluid domain, is an immiscible and incompressible mixture of a solid polymeric component and the fluid. As the gel swells and de-swells, the gel-fluid interface can move. Our model consists of a system of partial differential equations for mass and line...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Mean-Field Theory for Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
Research in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has exploded in the last two decades, which are marked by an exponential increase in the number of theoretical and experimental publications in this field. The typically good thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and solvability of RTILs make them superior electrolytes in many electrochemical applications, such as metal electrodeposition and e...
متن کاملShell-model Hamiltonian from self-consistent mean-field model: N = Z nuclei
We propose a procedure to determine the effective nuclear shell-model Hamiltonian in a truncated space from a self-consistent mean-field model, e.g., the Skyrme model. The parameters of pairing plus quadrupole-quadrupole interaction with monopole force are obtained so that the potential energy surface of the Skyrme HartreeFock + BCS calculation is reproduced. We test our method for N = Z nuclei...
