Journal Article
Krawczyk, J., Croce, S., McLeish, T., & Chakrabarti, B. (2016). Elasticity dominated surface segregation of small molecules in polymer mixtures. Physical Review Letters, 116(20), Article 208301. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.116.208301

We study the phenomenon of migration of the small molecular weight component of a binary polymer mixture to the free surface using mean field and self-consistent field theories. By proposing a free energy functional that incorporates polymer-matrix e... Read More about Elasticity dominated surface segregation of small molecules in polymer mixtures.

Stall force of polymerizing microtubules and filament bundles (2011)
Journal Article
Krawczyk, J., & Kierfeld, J. (2011). Stall force of polymerizing microtubules and filament bundles. European Physical Society Letters, 93(2), Article 28006. https://doi.org/10.1209/0295-5075/93/28006

We investigate stall force and polymerization kinetics of rigid protofilaments in a microtubule or interacting filaments in bundles under an external load force in the framework of a discrete growth model. We introduce the concecpt of polymerization... Read More about Stall force of polymerizing microtubules and filament bundles.
