Theory of the observed ultralow friction between sliding polyelectrolyte brushes.
It is shown using a method based on a modified version of the mean field theory of Miklavic and Marcelja [J. Phys. Chem. 92, 6718 (1988)] that it should be possible for osmotic pressure due to the counterions associated with the two polyelectrolyte polymer brush coated surfaces to support a reasonable load (i.e., about 10(6) Pa) with the brushes held sufficiently far apart to prevent entangleme...

It is shown using a method based on the mean field theory of Miklavic Marcelja that it should be possible for osmotic pressure due to the counterions associated with the two polyelectrolyte polymer brush coated surfaces to support a reasonable load (i.e., about 105Pa) with the brushes held sufficiently far apart to prevent entanglement of polymers belonging to the two brushes, thus avoiding wha...
متن کاملGiant permittivity and dynamic mobility observed for spherical polyelectrolyte brushes
We prcsent a study of the electrodynamic behavior of concentrated suspensions of spherical polyelectrolyte brushcs (SPBs). The dynamic mobility of the SPBs exhibits giant values. Concomitantly, . the dielectric spectra of suspensions of these particlcs display enormous loss peaks in the kHz frequency range. The strong dielectric relaxation is a direct consequence of the inhomogeneity of the cou...
متن کاملInteractions between planar stiff polyelectrolyte brushes.
Molecular-dynamics simulations were performed for two opposing flat surfaces sparsely grafted with rigid polyelectrolyte chains whose lengths are smaller than their persistence lengths. The resulting force-distance dependence was analyzed theoretically in terms of two separate physical mechanisms: the pressure arising from osmotically active counterions trapped within the brush and the work req...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte-compression forces between spherical DNA brushes.
Optical tweezers are employed to measure the forces of interaction within a single pair of DNA-grafted colloids, dependent on the molecular weight of the DNA chains, and the concentration and valence of the surrounding ionic medium. The resulting forces are short range and set in as the surface-to-surface distance between the colloidal cores reaches the value of the brush height. The measured f...
