Interactions between planar polyelectrolyte brushes: effects of stiffness and salt
We perform molecular dynamics simulations and develop a theoretical approach based on the twodimensional cylindrical cell model to investigate the salt-dependent interactions between two sparselygrafted, rigid polyelectrolyte brushes. Extending our previous study, (A. Wynveen and C. N. Likos, Phys. Rev. E: Stat., Nonlinear, Soft Matter Phys., 2009, 80, 010801), we find that the repulsive force ...
متن کاملRod-like Polyelectrolyte Brushes with Mono- and Multivalent Counterions
A model of rod-like polyelectrolyte brushes in the presence of monovalent and multivalent counterions but with no added-salt is studied using Monte Carlo simulation. The average height of the brush, the histogram of rod conformations, and the counterion density profile are obtained for different values of the grafting density of the charge-neutral wall. For a domain of grafting densities, the b...
متن کاملNanostructured Single Crystals Sandwiched between Ordered/Disordered Coily and Rod Brushes
Single crystals of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-polystyrene (PS), PEG-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PEG-b-polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyaniline (PANI)-b-PEG-b-PANI were developed from dilute solutions and thin molten films using self-seeding methodology. The PS and PMMA grafted chains were categorized in disordered nano-brushes; however, the PCL and PANI ones were grouped in ordere...
متن کاملInvestigation of strained deformed state of variable stiffness rod
An equation for bending of a weighable rod with variable transversal stiffness was proposed. On the basis of this analyses the conclusions were drawn about the influence of parameters of construction on values of maximum sag and maximum bending moment. The recommendations for the usage of the simplified model were done. The example of the construction with given parameters for calculation of st...
متن کاملPearl-necklace structures of molecular brushes with rigid backbone under poor solvent conditions: A simulation study.
Bottle-brush polymers, where flexible side chains containing N=20 to 50 effective monomers are grafted to a rigid backbone, are studied by molecular dynamics simulations, varying the grafting density σ and the solvent quality. Whereas for poor solvents and large enough σ the molecular brush is a cylindrical object, homogeneous in axial direction, for intermediate values of σ an axially inhomoge...
