Dynamics of adsorbed polymers on attractive homogeneous surfaces
Dynamic behaviors of polymer chains adsorbed on an attractive, homogeneous surface are studied by using dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. The translational diffusion coefficient Dxy parallel to the surface decreases as the intra-polymer attraction strength EPP or the polymer-surface attraction strength EPS increases. The rotational relaxation time τR increases with EPS, but the dependence of τR ...
متن کاملPolymers at interfaces and surfaces and in confined geometries
Inhomogeneous polymer systems have attracted abiding technological interest (Advincula et al., 2004; Cahn et al., 1993; Garbassi et al., 2000; Granick et al., 2003a; Karim and Kumar, 2000; Stamm, 2008). The surface of a polymer liquid determines the wetting properties, adhesion, corrosion, and friction as well as the gloss of a polymeric material. Polymers do not only find application in form o...
متن کاملScaling laws of single polymer dynamics near attractive surfaces.
We present a molecular dynamics study of a generic model for single polymer diffusion on surfaces, which have variable atomic-scale corrugation but no artificial, impenetrable obstacles. The diffusion coefficient D scales as D is proportional to (-3/2) with the degree of polymerization N for strongly adsorbed, linear polymers on solid substrates in good solvents. Weaker scaling, i.e., D is prop...
متن کاملTaming Lévy flights in confined crowded geometries.
We study two-dimensional diffusive motion of a tracer particle in restricted, crowded anisotropic geometries. The underlying medium is formed from a monolayer of elongated molecules [Cieśla J. Chem. Phys. 140, 044706 (2014)] of known concentration. Within this mesh structure, a tracer molecule is allowed to perform a Cauchy random walk with uncorrelated steps. Our analysis shows that the presen...
متن کاملNanoparticle diffusion in crowded and confined media.
We identify distinct mechanisms controlling slowing of nanoparticle diffusion through complex media featuring both rigid geometrical confinement and soft mobile crowders. Towards this end, we use confocal microscopy and single particle tracking to probe the diffusion of 400 nm nanoparticles suspended in Newtonian water, in a Newtonian glycerol/water mixture, or in a non-Newtonian polymer soluti...
