Universality of Entropic Surface Segregation from Athermal Polymer Blends Due to Conformational Asymmetry

Russell K. W. Spencer et al.

Summary: In this study, we critically reassessed off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations of athermal blends of stiff and flexible polymers next to a hard wall. Our improved simulations show that the flexible polymers actually have a long-range surface preference, contradicting the original simulations, experiments, and alternative calculations. This resolves a long-standing controversy and supports the predictions of mean-field theory regarding the concentration profile of the flexible polymer.

Phase Separation and Nematic Order in Lyotropic Solutions: Two Types of Polymers with Different Stiffnesses in a Common Solvent

Sergei A. Egorov et al.

Summary: The interplay between isotropic-nematic transition and phase separation in lyotropic solutions of two types of semiflexible macromolecules with distinct chain stiffness was studied using Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations. The results show that solutions containing two types of chains with disparate stiffness have wider two-phase coexistence regions, and each type of chain contributes to the nematic order, leading to the formation of two coexisting nematic phases. The phase behavior is rationalized by considering the chemical potentials of the components and the Gibbs excess free energy, with discussions on the geometric properties of chain conformations under different conditions.

Ordering, phase behavior, and correlations of semiflexible polymers in confinement

Summary: Semiflexible polymers have various important roles in biological systems and materials due to their hierarchical length-scale properties. Controlling confinement can promote order but may also lead to long-ranged disruptions.

Phase Separation in a Binary Mixture of Semiflexible Polymers Confined in a Repulsive Sphere

Andrey Milchev et al.

Summary: Lyotropic solutions containing two types of semiflexible macromolecules in spherical confinement were studied through molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory. In dilute solutions, the main effect of the surfaces is to perturb the random orientation of the end-to-end vectors of the stiff chains. In more concentrated systems, there is an additional observation of a thin layer of wall-attached stiff chains.

Current Fluctuations in Nanopores Reveal the Polymer-Wall Adsorption Potential

Stuart F. Knowles et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the adsorption of short, neutral polymers on the surface of solid-state nanopores can change the characteristics of ionic current noise, with the change depending strongly on polymer length and salt concentration. The agreement between experimental data and simulations provides insight into the shape of the adsorption potential and underlying processes, paving the way for in situ characterization of functionalized nanopores using noise spectral analysis.

Blends of Semiflexible Polymers: Interplay of Nematic Order and Phase Separation

Andrey Milchev et al.

Summary: This study utilizes Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics simulation to investigate mixtures of semiflexible polymers with mismatched persistence or contour lengths. By systematically varying mole fraction and pressure, the effects of bending stiffness and chain length on lyotropic solutions under good solvent conditions are explored. The phase behavior of binary mixtures with differing chain lengths or stiffness levels is analyzed, with observations of isotropic-nematic phase coexistence and unmixing in both isotropic-nematic and nematic-nematic systems. Additionally, the study delves into the detailed properties of the different chains in various phases and predicts the critical behavior near the nematic-nematic unmixing critical point.

Shear-Thinning in Oligomer Melts-Molecular Origins and Applications

Ranajay Datta et al.

Summary: This study investigates the molecular origin of shear-thinning in melts of oligomers by coarse-grained simulations of sheared melts. It finds that the increase and decrease of entanglements with increasing chain stiffness is the major cause for the non-monotonic behavior of viscosity, and at higher shear rates, chains align and disentangle contributing to shear-thinning. The study confirms the influence of microscopic details in the molecular structure of short polymers on macroscopic polymer flows.

Cylindrical confinement of solutions containing semiflexible macromolecules: surface-induced nematic order versus phase separation

Andrey Milchev et al.

Summary: Molecular Dynamics simulations were used to study solutions of semiflexible polymers confined in cylindrical pores with repulsive walls. The surface effect changed from depletion to the formation of a layered structure as polymer density increased, and an interplay between surface enrichment of the stiffer component and the isotropic-nematic transition was observed in binary mixtures of the two types of polymers.
