Highly branched “bottlebrush” polymers are a class of macromolecules characterized by
side chains that are densely grafted from a backbone that is typically linear. Their unique …

We study the conformation of a comb-like polymer chain in dilute solution from being in a
free state to being confined in a nanochannel by using Brownian dynamics simulations. In …

Flow-based manipulation of particles is an essential tool for studying soft materials, but prior
work has nearly exclusively relied on using two-dimensional (2D) flows generated in planar …

We study the effect of backbone rigidity on the conformation of comb-like chains in dilute
solution by using Brownian dynamics simulations. Our results demonstrate that the …

We use Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations and single molecule experiments to
investigate the influence of topological constraints and hydrodynamic interactions on the …

We study the conformation of an amphiphilic comb-like copolymer in a selective solvent by
using Brownian dynamics simulations. Our results demonstrate that, there is an optimal total …

Redox-active polymers (RAPs) are a subclass of polyelectrolytes that can store charge and
undergo redox self-exchange reactions. RAPs are of great interest in the field of redox flow …

We study the dynamics of bottlebrush polymer molecules in dilute solutions subjected to
shear and uniaxial extensional flows using Brownian dynamics simulations with …

Recent studies have shown the importance of using highly resolved models for Brownian
Dynamics (BD) simulations of long macromolecules. For computational efficiency, such …

The conformation of star comb-like polymer chains in dilute solutions was investigated using
Brownian dynamics simulations. The results show that when the grafting density of the star …
