Single Molecule Force Extension Measurement on Semi-Flexible Biopolymers Using Magnetic Tweezers
Polymers are pervasive in modern society and are commonly encountered in a wide-range of industrial processes. Polymer chains exhibit complex dynamical phenomena in solutions undergoing convective transport, and a proper understanding of chain dynamics is key to optimizing process conditions. The …

Synthesis and supramolecular assembly of biomimetic polymers
… chemistry is the synthesis of macromolecules and polymers with precise shapes and architectures. Polymer microstructure and architecture strongly affect the resulting functionality of advanced materials, yet understanding the static and dynamic properties of these complex macromolecules in bulk …

Dynamics of semi-flexible fibres in viscous flow
The dynamics of semi-flexible fibres in shear flow and the effect of flexibility on the swimming speed of helical flagella are investigated. High aspect ratio particles such as carbon and glass fibres are often added as fillers to processed polymers. Although these materials have high rigidity, the …

Atomic force microscopy methods to study protein phase transitions
… this process is very well-modelled by theory of semi-flexible polymers, which quantitatively predicts the range in which loop structures exist. These findings suggest that the formation of amyloid loops is a generic process, governed by the fact that intermediate protofibrillar species behave as …
