A short review on Ferrofluids surface modification by natural and biocompatible polymers
This paper provides an overview of how the surface properties of ferromagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in fluids is modified by natural and biocompatible polymers. Among common magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (g-Fe203) are popular candidates because of their biocompatibility. Natural polymeric coating materials are the most commonly used biocompatible magnetic nanopartic...
متن کاملEntropic forces generated by grafted semiflexible polymers.
The entropic force exerted by the Brownian fluctuations of a grafted semiflexible polymer upon a rigid smooth wall are calculated both analytically and by Monte Carlo simulations. Such forces are thought to play an important role for several cellular phenomena, in particular, the physics of actin-polymerization-driven cell motility and movement of bacteria like Listeria. In the stiff limit, whe...
متن کاملStabilization of surface-immobilized enzymes using grafted polymers.
We introduce a two-dimensional lattice model of immobilization and stabilization of proteinlike polymers using grafted polymers. The protein is designed to have a specific bulk conformation reproducing a catalytic cleft of natural enzymes. Our model predicts a first order denaturing adsorption transition of free proteins. On the other hand, for an immobilized protein we observe a more gradual d...
متن کاملGrafted polymers in bad solvents: octopus surface micelles
Polymer chains are irreversibly grafted to a surface in a good solvent and the solvent quality is then reduced dramatically. The chains then collapse. If the grafting density is very high then the collapsed layer should be fairly uniform. However, at lower grafting densities the chains are predicted to form surface "micelles". These micelles minimize the exposed surface area of the collapsed gl...
متن کاملUniversal shape ratios for polymers grafted at a flat surface
We consider dilute non-adsorbed polymers grafted at an impenetrable surface and compute several quantities which characterize the polymer shape: the asphericity and the ratios of the eigenvalues of the radius-of-gyration tensor. The results are only slightly different from those obtained for polymers in the bulk, showing that the surface has little influence on the polymer shape.
