Rouse modes of self-avoiding flexible polymers.
Using a lattice-based Monte Carlo code for simulating self-avoiding flexible polymers in three dimensions in the absence of explicit hydrodynamics, we study their Rouse modes. For self-avoiding polymers, the Rouse modes are not expected to be statistically independent; nevertheless, we demonstrate that numerically these modes maintain a high degree of statistical independence. Based on high-pre...
متن کاملSelf-avoiding flexible polymers under spherical confinement.
We compute the free energy of confinement for a flexible self-avoiding polymer inside a spherical cavity. Accurate numerical results allow us to arbitrate between three competing scaling predictions. For moderate confinement, the free energy exhibits a power-law dependence on cavity size that is different from what is observed for planar and cylindrical confinement. At high monomer concentratio...
متن کاملDynamics of Rouse polymers in Maxwell fluids
A generalization of the Rouse model of the dynamics of polymers in solution is proposed. The motion of long polymer chains is considered to be due to exponentially correlated random forces driving the polymer segments, which is a more realistic model than the approximation of white thermal noise in the standard theory. Due to the fluctuationdissipation theorem such a model is consistent with th...
متن کاملCritical behaviour of the Rouse model for gelling polymers
It is shown that the traditionally accepted “Rouse values” for the critical exponents at the gelation transition do not arise from the Rouse model for gelling polymers. The true critical behaviour of the Rouse model for gelling polymers is obtained from spectral properties of the connectivity matrix of the fractal clusters that are formed by the molecules. The required spectral properties are r...
متن کاملDepletion effects and loop formation in self-avoiding polymers.
Langevin dynamics is employed to study the looping kinetics of self-avoiding polymers both in ideal and crowded solutions. A rich kinetics results from the competition of two crowding-induced effects: the depletion attraction and the enhanced viscous friction. For short chains, the enhanced friction slows down looping, while for longer chains, the depletion attraction renders it more frequent a...
