Final Report Abstract

In summary, we gained important knowledge on fundamental aspects of polymer physics. Concerning the collaboration between the groups of Prof. Hardt and the group of Prof. Holm we were very successful in studying the stretching and relaxation behavior of tethered polyelectrolytes in confinement, and directly compare experimental results to simulations. Furthermore, the investigation of important electrostatic and -kinetic effects as well as hydrodynamics in the field of polyelectrolytes lead to interesting new findings and developments of numerical methods.
