Journal ArticleDOI
Subdiffusive motion of bacteriophage in mucosal surfaces increases the frequency of bacterial encounters.
Jeremy J. Barr,Rita Auro,Nicholas Sam-Soon,Sam Kassegne,Gregory Peters,Natasha Bonilla,Mark Hatay,Sarah Mourtada,Barbara A. Bailey,Merry Youle,Ben Felts,Arlette R. C. Baljon,Jim Nulton,Peter Salamon,Forest Rohwer +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a phage that adheres weakly to mucus exhibits subdiffusive motion, not normal diffusion, in mucosal surfaces, which provides a basis for engineering adherent phages to manipulate mucosal surface microbiomes for protection from infection and other purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Dissipation During Rupture of Adhesive Bonds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to study energy-dissipation mechanisms during the rupture of a thin adhesive bond formed by short chain molecules and found that approximately equal amounts of energy were dissipated in each of three types of rapid motion: cavitation, plastic yield and bridge rupture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Strong Confinement on the Glass-Transition Temperature in Simulated Atactic Polystyrene Films
D Dmytro Hudzinskyy,Alexey V. Lyulin,Arlette R. C. Baljon,Nikolay K. Balabaev,M. A. J. Michels +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the presence of a supporting surface and a free interface may drastically change both the static and dynamic behavior of polymer chains in these thin films, and the influence of the confinement on the polymer glass-transition temperature Tg is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations of Crazing in Polymer Glasses: Effect of Chain Length and Surface Tension
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to study the evolution of craze formation in glassy adhesives and structural polymers, and found that the formation of Craze determines the effective strength of polymers and polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of polymer melt intercalation in layered nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have performed molecular-dynamics simulations of the flow of polymer molecules from a bulk melt into a rectangular slit and showed qualitative agreement with time-dependent x-ray diffraction measurements of intercalation kinetics.
