A physical model for the longitudinal polarizabilities of polymer chains.
The aim of this work is to provide a physical model to relate the polarizability per unit cell of oligomers to that of their corresponding infinite polymer chains. For this we propose an extrapolation method for the polarizability per unit cell of oligomers by fitting them to a physical model describing the dielectric properties of polymer chains. This physical model is based on the concept of ...
متن کاملDetermining the Gaussian probability distribution of the best-fit ellipsoid of revolution for a polymer chain from planar projections
Abstract This paper introduces an algorithm to obtain the probability distribution of the best-fit ellipsoid of an individual random-walk polymer chain from planar projections. This algorithm allows the true three-dimensional behaviour of polymer chains to be inferred from planar experimental measurements such as those obtained by light microscopy. Our algorithm is effective in retrieving the G...
متن کاملSoft Confinement for Polymer Solutions
As a model of soft confinement for polymers, we investigated equilibrium shapes of a flexible vesicle that contains a phase-separating polymer solution. To simulate such a system, we combined the phase field theory (PFT) for the vesicle and the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) for the polymer solution. We observed a transition from a symmetric prolate shape of the vesicle to an asymmetric pe...
متن کاملStiffness of polymer chains
A formula is derived for stiffness of a polymer chain in terms of the distribution function of end-to-end vectors. This relationship is applied to calculate the stiffness of Gaussian chains (neutral and carrying electric charges at the ends), chains modeled as self-avoiding random walks, as well as semi-flexible (worm-like and Dirac) chains. The effects of persistence length and Bjerrum’s lengt...
متن کاملVariational collision integrator for polymer chains
The numerical simulation of many-particle systems (e.g., in molecular dynamics) often involves constraints of various forms. We present a symplectic integrator for mechanical systems with holonomic (bilateral) and unilateral contact constraints, the latter being in the form of a nonpenetration condition. The scheme is based on a discrete variant of Hamilton’s principle in which both the discret...
