Semiflexible polymer solutions. I. Phase behavior and single-chain statistics
We study the thermodynamics and single-chain statistics of wormlike polymer solutions with Maier–Saupe-type interactions using self-consistent-field ~SCF! theory. The SCF equations are derived using a systematic field-theoretical approach which yields the SCF equations as the lowest order approximation, but permits fluctuation corrections to be incorporated. We solve the SCF equations using the...
متن کاملQuantitative tube model for semiflexible polymer solutions.
We develop an analytical and quantitative theory of the tube model concept for entangled networks of semiflexible polymers. The absolute value of the tube diameter L perpendicular is derived as a function of the polymers' persistence length lp and mesh size xi of the network. To leading order, we find L perpendicular = 0.31xi 6/5 lp (-1/5) , which is consistent with known asymptotic scaling law...
متن کاملAttractions between Hard Colloidal Spheres in Semiflexible Polymer Solutions
We explore the depletion attractions that arise between hard colloidal spheres immersed in a nonadsorbing polymer solution of DNA. We spatially confine two 1.25 μm silica spheres in a scanning optical tweezer and quantitatively examine their interaction potential in double-stranded DNA solutions of different concentrations. The potentials obtained display variations in depth and range that are ...
متن کاملChain self-assembly and phase transitions in semiflexible polymer systems
We present a phenomenological theory of the interplay between linear self-assembly, isotropic attractions, and orientation-dependent repulsions in determining the phase behavior of particles that reversibly polymerize into semiflexible chains. Important examples of such linearly aggregating systems include many proteins, micelles, and dipolar fluids. Four classes of phase diagrams are predicted...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Dynamics of Dilute Polymer Solutions
Polymers show universal behavior at long length and time scales. In this chapter, the equilibrium and dynamics of dilute polymer solutions is presented in terms of theoretical models that form the basis of polymer physics. The size of an ideal polymer is calculated from the freely jointed chain model, the freely rotating chain model and the Gaussian equivalent chain model. The Edwards Hamiltoni...
