Theory and Simulation of Polymers in Non-Equilibrium

Collaborators:

Jens-Uwe Sommer, Holger Merlitz and Jaroslaw Paturej

Introduction:

By means of scaling theory and molecular dynamics simulations, we study non-equilibrium properties of polymeric systems, such as:

Topics

Homopolymers and block-copolymers with and without nano-inclusions under shear motion

Couette- and Poiseuille-flows of polymer brushes with and without macromolecular inclusions

Particle translocation through brush-decorated nanochannels

Interaction of thiolated polymer brushes with gold surfaces
