Renormalization group evaluation of the second virial coefficient of polydisperse polymer solutions
2014 The second virial coefficient A2 for a mixture of two monodisperse polymers is studied by means of the renormalization group. It is found that the cross-term A12 has a finite limit if the segment number of one of the polymers tends to infinity. Such behaviour predicts a maximum of A2 in dependence on the relative composition of the polymers. The maximum resulting from our firstorder RG-cal...
متن کامل0 Polydisperse star polymer solutions
We analyze the effect of polydispersity in the arm number on the effective interactions , structural correlations and the phase behavior of star polymers in a good solvent. The effective interaction potential between two star polymers with different arm numbers is derived using scaling theory. The resulting expression is tested against monomer-resolved molecular dynamics simulations. We find th...
متن کاملHaldane exclusion statistics and second virial coefficient.
We show that Haldanes new definition of statistics, when generalised to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, is equal to the high temperature limit of the second virial coefficient. We thus show that this exclusion statistics parameter, g , of anyons is non-trivial and is completely determined by its exchange statistics parameter α. We also compute g for quasiparticles in the Luttinger model an...
متن کاملNonmonotonic variation with salt concentration of the second virial coefficient in protein solutions.
The osmotic virial coefficient B2 of globular protein solutions is calculated as a function of added salt concentration at fixed pH by computer simulations of the "primitive model." The salt and counterions as well as a discrete charge pattern on the protein surface are explicitly incorporated. For parameters roughly corresponding to lysozyme, we find that B2 first decreases with added salt con...
متن کاملConformations of polydisperse polymer solutions : bimodal distribution
2014 Starting with the Flory theory for one long flexible polymer chain of N segments in a homopolymer melt of shorter (P segments) chains, we employ scaling arguments to construct the « phase diagram » of an athermal bimodal solution, i.e. a ternary system composed of N chains, P chains, and solvent. Qualitatively the presence of short chains reduces the effective solvent quality as experience...
