Equilibrium conformation of polymer chains with noncircular cross section.
In this paper we derive the general equilibrium equations of a polymer chain with a noncircular cross section by the variation of the free energy functional. From the equilibrium equation of the elastic ribbon we derive analytically the equilibrium conformations both of the helical ribbons and the twisted ribbons. We find that the pitch angle of the helical ribbons depends on the ratio of the t...
متن کاملComment on "Equilibrium conformation of polymer chains with noncircular cross section".
In this Comment, we point out that the Euler-Lagrange equations, which are referred to as the general equilibrium equations by Zhao et al. [Phys. Rev. E 74, 032801 (2006)] are incorrect along with the equations which are derived from them. The correct equations are provided in this Comment. We produce new numerical results with the use of the correct equations.
متن کاملComment on "General equilibrium shape equations of polymer chains".
In this Comment, we point out that the Euler-Lagrange equations, which are referred to as the general equilibrium shape equations presented by Zhang et al. [Phys. Rev. E 70, 051902 (2004)] are incorrect, along with equations derived from them. The correct equations are provided here and they are cross-checked using certain energy functions previously presented in the literature. Further, with t...
متن کاملLaminar Flow in Microchannels With Noncircular Cross Section
Analytical solutions are presented for laminar fully developed flow in micro-/ minichannels of hyperelliptical and regular polygonal cross sections in the form of compact relationships. The considered geometries cover a wide range of common simply connected shapes including circle, ellipse, rectangle, rectangle-with-round-corners, rhombus, star-shape, equilateral triangle, square, pentagon, and...
متن کاملConformation of intramolecularly cross-linked polymer nanoparticles on solid substrates.
The conformation of cross-linked, monomolecular, polystyrene nanoparticles on a solid substrate is considered as a function of cross-linking degree and substrate surface free energy. It is found that an extreme amount of cross-linking is necessary for the ca. 5-10 nm diameter nanoparticles to retain their original spherical shape, regardless of surface free energy. A lesser amount of cross-link...
