Abstract Entanglements in polyelectrolyte solutions are a controversial issue in polymer science. Experimental studies during the last 20 years have…
Abstract We use a combination of scaling analysis, random phase approximation (RPA) calculations, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to…
Abstract The nonlinear stress–strain response of synthetic and biological networks and gels manifested in a monotonic increase of an instantaneous…
Abstract Softness and firmness are opposing traits that synergistically define the elastic response of biological systems. Currently, no single class…
Abstract We performed coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of swelling and degradation of copolymer films confined within polymer networks with different…
