Unfolding Kinetics of a Wormlike Chain under Elongational Flow
A simple theory of the unfolding kinetics of a semi-flexible polymer chain is presented in terms of a Kramers type picture for the energy of elongation. The hydrodynamic interactions are discussed in terms of slender body theory. It turns out that the elongation of the chain is basically linear in t...
