12 Mobility: of confined and deformed polyelectrolytes Asymmetry ratio 10 2 Asymmetry, ϕ N = 120 N = 80 N = Effective Radius, R eff = k B T/k where ϕ = R g,x /R g,r

13 Mobility: of confined and deformed polyelectrolytes Asymmetry ratio Electrophoretic Mobility 10 2 N = 120 N = 80 N = 40 Asymmetry, ϕ Mobility, µ/µ N = 120 N = 80 N = Effective Radius, R eff = k B T/k Effective Radius, R eff = k B T/k where ϕ = R g,x /R g,r The conformation has N dependence and continues to increases at strong confinement The mobility is N-independent and saturates at strong confinement

15 Free-draining: far-field fluid speed remains zero 4 (a) (c) Radial Position, r (b) Axial Position, z uz (z, r) /µ0e Together with the asymmetry ratio, the flow profiles suggest that hydrodynamic interactions remain screened.

16 Why Does Mobility Increase? local hydrodynamic coupling Monomers within a given λ D are hydrodynamically coupled. Segments are locally rod-like

17 Why Does Mobility Increase? local hydrodynamic coupling Monomers within a given λ D are hydrodynamically coupled. Segments are locally rod-like Confinement orients the segments, lowering their local friction

18 Why Does Mobility Increase? local hydrodynamic coupling log (µ/µ0) N = 120 N = 80 N = 40 MPCD-MD oriented rods point-charges log ( ) R eff Monomers within a given λ D are hydrodynamically coupled. Segments are locally rod-like Confinement orients the segments, lowering their local friction

19 Conclusion Conformation changes via antiparallel force are not equivalent to perpendicular force mobility independent of conformation (while R eff > λ D ) Mobility varies in strong confinement even in the absence of walls requires finite λ D strong confinement decreases each segment s effective friction coefficient Future work: improved simple models of effective friction coefficient vary Debye length steeper confining potential fluid impenetrable walls
