Thermodynamics of polymer adsorption to a flexible membrane.
We analyze the structural behavior of a single polymer chain grafted to an attractive, flexible surface. Our model is composed of a coarse-grained bead-and-spring polymer and a tethered membrane. By means of extensive parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations it is shown that the system exhibits a rich phase behavior ranging from highly ordered, compact to extended random coil structures, and ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of the adsorption of flexible polymers on nanowires.
Generalized-ensemble simulations enable the study of complex adsorption scenarios of a coarse-grained model polymer near an attractive nanostring, representing an ultrathin nanowire. We perform canonical and microcanonical statistical analyses to investigate structural transitions of the polymer and discuss their dependence on the temperature and on model parameters such as effective wire thick...
متن کاملMembrane curvature induced by polymer adsorption.
The phenomena resulting from interaction between polymers and membranes pose important problems for biological applications. Based on a scaling theory, we investigate the spontaneous curvature of a membrane induced by either flexible or semiflexible chain adsorption. Irrespective of chain stiffness, a weakly adsorbed polymer induces the membrane to bend away (to have a positive curvature) from ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Polymer Solutions
Most of the synthetic compounds are prepared and processed in the liquid state, i.e. in solution or in the molten state. Detailed knowledge on this state is therefore indispensable. In particular it is essential to know the limits of complete miscibility with a low molecular weight solvent as a function of temperature, pressure and composition. Furthermore it is often mandatory to be acquainted...
متن کاملFeasibility of Polysulfone as Base Polymer in a Polymer Inclusion Membrane: Synthesis and Characterisation
Polysulfone was investigated as an alternative base-polymer for polymer inclusion membranes (PIM’s) that could withstand harsh environmental conditions and have good transport efficiency of metal ions. PIM’s were prepared using polysulfone as a base polymer and Aliquat 336 as a carrier in the absence of a plasticizer. Chromium (VI) was used as standard to study the extraction efficiency of the ...
