Diffusion in polymer solutions and gels has been studied by various techniques such as
gravimetry, membrane permeation, fluorescence and radioactive labeling. These studies …

The dramatic recent advances in molecular biology, which have opened a new era in
medicine and biotechnology, rely on improved techniques to study large molecules …

Silicate gels were prepared under a range of conditions in which the rate of hydrolysis was
varied from fast to slow with respect to the rate of condensation. When hydrolysis was fast …

The successful design of nanofluidic devices for the manipulation of biopolymers requires
an understanding of how the predictions of soft condensed matter physics scale with device …

We show that genomic-length DNA molecules imaged in nanochannels have an extension
along the channel that scales linearly with the contour length of the polymer, in agreement …

A microscopic statistical theory of polyelectrolyte solutions (PES) with polyions of low linear
charge density is developed in the random phase approximation (RPA). Correlation …

6. Conclusions The Lauritzen-Hoffman theory11 was found to be suitable for the analysis of
isobaric high-pressure crys-tallization kineticsdata for cis-polyisoprene. The appli-cability of …

The study of the conformation properties of macromolecules is at the heart of polymer
science. Essentially all physical properties of polymers are manifestations of the underlying …

Single polymer dynamics offers a powerful approach to study molecular-level interactions
and dynamic microstructure in materials. Direct visualization of single polymer chains has …

We present an overview of existing theories of block polymer micelles. We focus here on the
equilibrium structure of nanoaggregates formed by solvophobic/solvophilic diblock …
