Intramolecular Structure and Dynamics in Computationally Designed Peptide-Based Polymers Displaying Tunable Chain Stiffness

September 7, 2021
Author(s)
Nairiti Sinha, Yi Shi, Christopher J. Kloxin, Jeffery G. Saven, Antonio Faraone, Grethe V. Jensen, Darrin J. Pochan
Polymers constructed via hybrid physical-covalent assembly of computationally designed peptide coiled coils, or bundlemers, display tunable chain stiffness via control of inter-bundlemer connectivity. Neutron spin echo spectroscopy reveals that rigid rod

Relationship between Viscosity and Acyl Tail Dynamics in Lipid Bilayers

August 12, 2021
Author(s)
Michihiro Nagao, Elizabeth Kelley, Antonio Faraone, Makina Saito, Yoshitaka Yoda, Masayuki Kurokuzu, Shinichi Takata, Makoto Seto, Paul Butler
Membrane viscosity is a fundamental property that controls molecular transport and structural rearrangements in lipid membranes. Given its importance in many cell processes, various experimental and computational methods have been developed to measure the

Atomic Dynamics of Metallic Glass Melts La 50 Ni 15 Al 35 and Ce 70 Cu 19 Al 11 Studied by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering

Peng Luo, Abhishek Jaiswal, Yanqin Zhai, Zhikun Cai, Nathan P. Walter, Long Zhou, Dawei Ding, Ming Liu, Rebecca Mills, Andrey Podlesnyak, Georg Ehlers, Antonio Faraone, Haiyang Bai, Weihua Wang, Y. Z.
By employing quasi-elastic neutron scattering, we studied the atomic-scale relaxation dynamics and transport mechanism of La 50Ni 15Al 35 and Ce 69Cu 20Al 10Nb 1 Studied by Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering metallic glass melts in the temperature range of

Entangled Polymer Dynamics in Attractive Nanocomposite Melts

June 23, 2020
Author(s)
Erkan Senses, Saeid Darvishi, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Antonio Faraone
We investigate single chain dynamics of an entangled linear poly (ethylene oxide) melt in presence of well-dispersed attractive nanoparticles using high resolution neutron spectroscopy at particle volume fractions as high as 0.53. The short time dynamics

Polymer Dynamics in Block Copolymer Electrolytes Detected by Neutron Spin Echo

May 19, 2020
Author(s)
Whitney S. Loo, Antonio Faraone, Lorena S. Grundy, Kevin W. Gao, Nitash P. Balsara
Polymer chain dynamics of a nanostructured block copolymer electrolyte are investigated by neutron spin-echo spectroscopy. Monomeric friction, determined by fitting the short-time data to the Rouse model, increases with increasing salt concentration. Tube

Dynamic Equivalence between Soft Star Polymers and Hard Spheres

November 19, 2019
Author(s)
Zhe Wang, Antonio Faraone, Panchao Yin, Lionel Porcar, Yun Liu, Changwoo Do, Kunlun Hong, Wei-Ren Chen
We measure a series of star polymer dispersions to study the dynamics of soft colloidal liquids. We find that as the concentration increases, the slowing of the long-time self-diffusivity of the star polymer, normalized by the short-time self-diffusivity

Disentangling Polymer Network and Hydration Water Dynamics in Polyhydroxyethyl Methacrylate Physical and Chemical Hydrogels

August 8, 2019
Author(s)
Daria Noferini, Antonio Faraone, Marta Rossi, Eugene Mamontov, Emiliano Fratini, Piero Baglioni
Cross-linker nature and water content may impact the microscopic dynamics of hydrogels components, and thus their properties in applications such as drug-delivery. To investigate this aspect, we used quasi-elastic neutron scattering with contrast variation

Low-Temperature Rotational Tunneling of Tetrahydroborate Anions in Lithium Benzimidazolate-Borohydride Li 2 (blm)BH 4

Author(s)
Alexander V. Skripov, Mirjana NMN Dimitrievska, Olga A. Babanova, R. V. Skoryunov, Alexei V. Soloninin, Fabrice Morelle, Y. Filinchuk, Antonio Faraone, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Terrence J. Udovic
To investigate the dynamical properties of the novel hybrid compound, lithium benzimidazolate-borohydride Li 2(bIm)BH 4 (where bIm denotes a benzimidazolate anion, C 7N 2H 5u-^), we have used a set of complementary techniques: neutron powder diffraction

Wide-Angle Polarization Analysis on the Multi-Axis Crystal Spectrometer for the Study of Collective and Single Particle Dynamics of Methanol at its Prepeak

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Wangchun Chen, Shannon M. Watson, Yiming Qiu, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Antonio Faraone
Neutron polarization analysis capability with a large scattering angle and momentum transfer coverage has not been widely implemented for the separation of coherent and incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra. A feasibility test for soft
