Correction to Force and Scale Dependence of the Elasticity of Self-Assembled DNA Bottle Brushes

چکیده
Note that the in the (corrected) expressions for the dimensionless parameters Γ0 and Γ one recognizes the Odijk deflection lengths λ0 = (P0kBT/f) 1/2 and λ = ((P0 + ΔP)kBT/ f). In terms of these deflection lengths the dimensionless parameters are simply Γ0 = 2πλ0/ξ and Γ = 2πλ/ξ. No explicit expression was given for the force-dependent apparent persistence length Papp( f). Upon substituting eq 10 in eq 6, one finds the simple result

Force and Scale Dependence of the Elasticity of Self-Assembled DNA Bottle Brushes
As a model system to study the elasticity of bottle-brush polymers, we here introduce self-assembled DNA bottle brushes, consisting of a DNA main chain that can be very long and still of precisely defined length, and precisely monodisperse polypeptide side chains that are physically bound to the DNA main chains. Polypeptide side chains have a diblock architecture, where one block is a small arc...
متن کاملNanostructured Single Crystals Sandwiched between Ordered/Disordered Coily and Rod Brushes
Single crystals of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-polystyrene (PS), PEG-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PEG-b-polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyaniline (PANI)-b-PEG-b-PANI were developed from dilute solutions and thin molten films using self-seeding methodology. The PS and PMMA grafted chains were categorized in disordered nano-brushes; however, the PCL and PANI ones were grouped in ordere...
متن کاملSurface-Initiated Anionic Polymerization of Styrene by Means of Self-Assembled Monolayers
A synthetic concept of preparing dense polymer brushes on planar surfaces is described, in which a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of biphenyllithium moieties on gold substrates is used to initiate anionic polymerization of styrene. The thickness of the resulting dry polystyrene brush, as estimated by ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM), is 18 ( 0.2 nm. These techniques also reveal a ...
متن کاملDetection of Polymer Brushes developed via Single Crystal Growth
Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
متن کاملStatic Pull-in Analysis of Capacitive FGM Nanocantilevers Subjected to Thermal Moment using Eringen’s Nonlocal Elasticity
This paper aims to investigate the pull-in phenomenon of functionally graded (FG) capacitive nanocantilevers subjected to an electrostatic force and thermal moment due to an applied voltage and thermal shock considering intermolecular force within the framework of nonlocal elasticity theory to account for the small scale effect. The FG nano-beam is made of mixture of metal and ceramic which the...
