Glassy models of protein folding
… of the preceding chapters with the theory of polymer collapse. First we study the collapse of random hetropolymers and find that hetropolymers have a frozen collapsed phase that does not occur in homopolymers. Then we study the equilibrium properties and folding time of a model of protein …

Exploiting plasmons to sense interfacial changes at the nanoscale
… provide mechanistic insight into dissolution, polymer collapse, and future work in switchable electron density tuning in single plasmonic nanoparticles. Understanding the mechanisms governing these chemical processes at the nanoscale builds foundational science to support future technological …

Fundamentals and application of the collapse transition of poly(acrylic acid) for synthesis of various polymer-templated nanoparticles
The collapse of a long chain polymer from extended to globular conformation can be the basis for a synthesis of nanoparticles. For example, a negatively charged polyelectrolyte can be collapsed by positively charged counterions, forming a nano-sized polymer-counterion particle. Upon stabilization …
