Polymers confined to a wedge
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 We consider, in a mean field approximation, a polymer solution confined to an acute angle (03B1 ~ 1) wedge with repulsive walls, and obtain the polymer concentration profile and the resulting line tension. We find that the polymer is essentially excluded from the tip zone where the width of the wedge is smaller than polymer correlation length 03BE. The resulting line tension is proportional to kT/03BE 03B1. J. Physique 47 (1986) 447-451 MARS 1986, Classification Physics Abstracts 36.20

Behavior of FRP-Confined Reactive Powder Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading
Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRP) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. Proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with FRP. In this paper, the influence of FRP thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...
متن کاملec 2 01 5 Long polymers near wedges and cones
We perform a Monte Carlo study of N-step self-avoiding walks, attached to the corner of an impenetrable wedge in two dimensions (d = 2), or the tip of an impenetrable cone in d = 3, of sizes ranging up to N = 10 steps. We find that the critical exponent γα, which determines the dependence of the number of available conformations on N for a cone/wedge with opening angle α, is in good agreement w...
متن کاملAdsorbing and Collapsing Directed Animals
A model of a self-interacting directed animal, which also interacts with a solid wall, is studied as a model of a directed branched polymer which can undergo both a collapse and an adsorption transition. The directed animal is confined to a 45° wedge, and it interacts with one of the walls of this wedge. The existence of a thermodynamic limit in this model shown, and the presence of an adsorpti...
متن کاملDetonation waves induced by a confined wedge
An auto-ignition detonation phenomenon can be initiated by a wedge confined in a channel. A new, self-sustaining, normal detonation wave engine concept is proposed. The detonation processes were numerically modeled with a simplified two-dimensional wedged channel flow that was deemed to emulate a real three-dimensional configuration. The results showed that within certain ranges of incoming flo...
متن کاملA Bijection Between Partially Directed Paths in the Symmetric Wedge and Matchings
We give a bijection between partially directed paths in the symmetric wedge y = ±x and matchings, which sends north steps to nestings. This gives a bijective proof of a result of Prellberg et al. that was first discovered through the corresponding generating functions: the number of partially directed paths starting at the origin confined to the symmetric wedge y = ±x with k north steps is equa...
