چکیده
We study semiflexible colloidal polymers assembled from di-patch particles via critical Casimir forces. By tuning the bond strength and resulting bending rigidity with temperature, we directly observe elastic relaxation internal friction effects.

Stretching dynamics of semiflexible polymers.
We analyze the nonequilibrium dynamics of single inextensible semiflexible biopolymers as stretching forces are applied at the ends. Based on different (contradicting) heuristic arguments, various scaling laws have been proposed for the propagation speed of the backbone tension which is induced in response to stretching. Here, we employ a newly developed unified theory to systematically substan...
متن کاملConstrained random-force model for weakly bending semiflexible polymers.
The random-force (Larkin) model of a directed elastic string subject to quenched random forces in the transverse directions has been a paradigm in the statistical physics of disordered systems. In this Brief Report, we investigate a modified version of the above model where the total transverse force along the polymer contour and the related total torque, in each realization of disorder, vanish...
متن کاملGlobal cross-over dynamics of semiflexible polymers
We present a mean-field dynamical theory for semiflexible polymers which can precisely capture, without fitting parameters, recent fluorescence correlation spectroscopy results on single monomer kinetics of DNA strands in solution. Our approach works globally, covering three decades of strand length and five decades of time: it includes the complex cross-overs occurring between stiffness-domina...
متن کاملEnd-monomer Dynamics in Semiflexible Polymers.
Spurred by an experimental controversy in the literature, we investigate the end-monomer dynamics of semiflexible polymers through Brownian hydrodynamic simulations and dynamic mean-field theory. Precise experimental observations over the last few years of end-monomer dynamics in the diffusion of double-stranded DNA have given conflicting results: one study indicated an unexpected Rouse-like sc...
متن کاملViscoelastic Properties of Semiflexible Macromolecules in Solution: Brownian Dynamics Simulation
The viscoelastic behavior of semiflexible macromolecules is studied using a trumbbell model with variable flexibility at the central hinge. The frequency-dependent solution viscosity for that model is calculated from Brownian dynamics simulations. The Green-Kubo formula is used to calculate the viscosity from flow-free Brownian trajectories. First, we obtain overall macromolecular properties su...
