项目摘要
Polymers appear in many different forms, namely as soft or hard solids, as liquids, glues, or melts, or as networks of covalently bonded monomers, or adsorbed onto a surface, or twisted and entangled in knotted conformations. Underlying this rich set of forms and thermodynamic phases is the notion of polymer entropy, which is related to the number of conformations of a polymer molecule. In this application I shall give an overview of my ongoing work in this field and explain several avenues for continuing my research program. I will also explain the current involvement of students in my research program and their contributions, as well as future projects which are suitable for training students in Monte Carlo simulations and statistical mechanics. Polymer entropy was studied by Nobel prize winners Flory in the 1940s, and de Gennes in the 1970s. A rich mathematical theory to model the entropy of string-like objects was built on their work. This includes the self-avoiding walk and related models, directed path models in combinatorial mathematics, percolation, networks, as well as numerical methods including Monte Carlo methods. These models are ubiquitous in the statistical mechanics of random clusters and in the theory of phase transitions and are related to classical models of spin system models of magnetic materials. This area of research straddles rigorous and applied statistical mechanics, combinatorial mathematics, probability theory, and mathematical physics. There is also a connection to experimental and theoretical polymer physics and chemistry. Research in this area is important because it adds to the understanding of phase behaviour and scaling in models of interacting and dense polymers and on networks. Over the last cycle my students and I have worked on mean field scaling for networks in molecular biology and on a self-avoiding walk model of compressed dense polymers. With other collaborators I have worked on the phase diagrams of linear and branched polymers and on partition function zeros of adsorbing self-avoiding walks. My short term goals are to expand my research into the partition function zeros of models of self-avoiding walks and directed lattice paths, to apply Flory-Huggins theory (a theory of dense polymer solutions) to models of copolymer melts, and to perform simulations of lattice spin systems using the GARM algorithm. In addition, I am investigating the phase diagram of pulled adsorbing models of branched polymers using self-avoiding walk models. Studies on partition function zeros and models of dense polymers will be done with graduate students. The longer term goals are to consider the usefulness of Flory-Huggins theory in creating a framing for understanding the phase diagram of dense polymer systems on the one hand, and on the other hand to examine the mathematical properties of partition function zeros and the role they play in creating critical points in self-avoiding walk models of interacting polymers.
聚合物以许多不同的形式出现,即作为软固体或硬固体,作为液体、胶或熔体,或作为共价键合的单体的网络,或吸附到表面上,或以打结构象扭曲和缠结。在这丰富的形式和热力学相的基础上是聚合物熵的概念,它与聚合物分子的构象数量有关。在此申请中,我将概述我在这一领域正在进行的工作,并解释继续我的研究计划的几种途径,我也将解释目前学生参与我的研究计划和他们的贡献,以及未来的项目,这是适合培养学生在蒙特卡洛模拟和统计力学。聚合物熵是由诺贝尔奖获得者Flory在20世纪40年代和de Gennes在20世纪70年代研究的。在他们的工作基础上,建立了一个丰富的数学理论来模拟弦状物体的熵。这包括自避免行走和相关模型,组合数学中的有向路径模型,渗流,网络,以及包括蒙特卡洛方法在内的数值方法。这些模型普遍存在于随机团簇的统计力学和相变理论中,并与磁性材料的自旋系统模型的经典模型相关。这一研究领域跨越严格的应用统计力学、组合数学、概率论和数学物理。该领域的研究非常重要,因为它有助于理解相互作用和致密聚合物模型以及网络中的相行为和标度。在过去的一个周期里,我和我的学生研究了分子生物学网络的平均场标度,以及压缩致密聚合物的自回避行走模型。与其他合作者,我一直致力于相图的线性和支化聚合物和配分函数零的吸附自我回避的散步。我的短期目标是扩大我的研究到自避免行走和定向晶格路径模型的配分函数零点,应用Flory-Huggins理论(一种稠密聚合物溶液理论)到共聚物熔体模型,并使用GARM算法进行晶格自旋系统的模拟。 此外,我正在研究使用自回避行走模型的支化聚合物的吸附模型的相图。研究的配分函数零点和致密聚合物的模型将与研究生一起进行研究。长期的目标是一方面考虑Flory-Huggins理论在创建理解致密聚合物体系相图的框架中的有用性,另一方面研究配分函数零点的数学性质以及它们在创建相互作用聚合物的自避免行走模型中的临界点中所起的作用。
