Colloids of electrically charged nanorods can spontaneously develop a fluid yet ordered
liquid crystal phase, but this ordering competes with a tendency to form a gel of percolating …

We investigate the effect of dispersion media composition, water-to-isopropanol (IPA) ratio,
on the structure and rheology of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers using short …

Using extensive molecular dynamics simulations, we obtain the conformational phase
diagram of a charged polymer in the presence of oppositely charged counterions and …

We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a charged polymer in a good
solvent in the regime where the chain is collapsed. We analyze the dependence of the …

Polymer density functional theory (PDFT) is a computationally efficient and robust statistical
mechanics theory for capturing the interfacial microstructure of grafted polymer brushes …

Similarly charged polyelectrolytes are known to attract each other and aggregate into
bundles when the charge density of the polymers exceeds a critical value that depends on …

Similarly charged polymers in solution, known as polyelectrolytes, are known to form
aggregated structures in the presence of oppositely charged counterions. Understanding the …

Polyelectrolyte chains dissolved in good solvent are expected to collapse in compact
configurations in the presence of multivalent ions. Here, we show that a weakly charged …

We investigate the effect of alcohol fraction (isopropanol, IPA) in a binary water‐alcohol
solvent mixture on the shear and extensional rheological properties, as well as the role of …

Ion-mediated interaction is important for the properties of polyelectrolytes such as colloids
and nucleic acids. The effective pair interactions between two polyelectrolytes have been …
