Abstract: Abstract The phenomenon of the ‘coil-stretch’ (C-S) transition, wherein a long-chain polymer initially in a coiled state undergoes a sudden configuration change to become fully stretched under steady elongational flows, has been widely recognized. This… read more here.

Abstract: We analyze the conformational dynamics and statistical properties of an active polymer model. The polymer is described as a freely jointed bead-rod chain subject to stochastic active force dipoles that act on the suspending solvent… read more here.
