The interactions between charged colloidal particles with sufficient strength to cause cryst~
l1ization are shown to be describable in terms of the usual Debye-Huckel approximation, but …

Remarks on polyelectrolyte conformation

PG De Gennes, P Pincus… - Journal de …, 1976 - jphys.journaldephysique.org
We discuss the conformations of linear polyions assuming that a) the corresponding
uncharged chain is flexible; b) electrostatic forces dominate the monomer-monomer …

Colloid stabilization with grafted polyelectrolytes

P Pincus - Macromolecules, 1991 - ACS Publications
We consider the structureof a surface with a fairly dense array of polyelectrolytes end-grafted
to it. A simple theory for the scaling properties of the corona thickness, counterion …

Pair correlations in a ferromagnetic colloid

PG De Gennes, PA Pincus - Physik der kondensierten Materie, 1970 - Springer
We discuss some properties of the equation of state and of the static correlations for
spherical ferromagnetic grains, at thermal equilibrium, in a passive fluid. At high external …

Excluded volume effects and stretched polymer chains

P Pincus - Macromolecules, 1976 - ACS Publications
The renormalized elasticity theory for isolated flexible polymersdeveloped recently by de
Gennes is extended to the case of strong elongation (Z/Ry» 1, Z is the average end-to-end …

Generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory of pseudo-one-dimensional systems

DJ Scalapino, Y Imry, P Pincus - Physical Review B, 1975 - APS
A generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory is suggested to describe the phase transition of an
array of weakly coupled pseudo-one-dimensional chains. Using a mean-field …

WM Gelbart, RF Bruinsma, PA Pincus… - Physics today, 2000 - researchgate.net
U:“physiological” conditions (a 0.1 molar solution of NaCl), a DNA molecule takes on the
form of a disordered coil with a radius of gyration of several micrometers; if any lengths of the …

Long-range forces in heterogeneous fluid membranes

M Goulian, R Bruinsma, P Pincus - Europhysics Letters, 1993 - iopscience.iop.org
We find a new long-range interaction between foreign inclusions (eg mobile proteins) in a
fluid membrane which is mediated by the membrane itself. The interaction falls off as 1/R 4 …

Theory of spontaneous vesicle formation in surfactant mixtures

SA Safran, P Pincus, D Andelman - Science, 1990 - science.org
The curvature elastic energy of bilayer vesicles formed by a mixture of two surfactants, which
individually form either micelles or lamellar bilayer phases is described theoretically. In the …

Colloid stabilization by long grafted polymers

TA Witten, PA Pincus - Macromolecules, 1986 - ACS Publications
Two colloidal particles, each with f long polymers grafted to it, experience an effective mutual
repulsion in a good solvent. The effective interaction potential depends logarithmically on …
