摘要

Polymer translocation has been one of challenging research topics in polymer physics. Despite great progresses made in previous studies

many essential problems remain unsolved. This review has expounded some major advances in different aspects of translocation

such as capture process

critical flux

conformational transition

and translocation time.

Abstract

The translocation of a polymer through a pore that is much smaller than its size is a fundamental and actively researched topic in polymer physics. An understanding of the principles governing polymer translocation provides important guidance for various practical applications

such as the separation and purification of polymers

nanopore-based single-molecule deoxyribonucleic acid/ribonucleic acid(DNA/RNA) sequencing

transmembrane transport of DNA or RNA

and infection of bacterial cells by bacteriophages. The past several decades have seen great progresses on the study of polymer translocation. Here we present an overview of theoretical

experimental

and simulational stduies on polymer translocation

focusing on the roles played by several important factors

including initial polymer conformations

external fields

polymer topology and architectures

and confinement degree. We highlight the physical mechanisms of different types of polymer translocations

and the main controversies about the basic rules of translocation dynamics. We compare and contrast the behaviors of force-induced versus flow-induced translocations and the effects of unknotted versus knotted polymers. Finally

we mention several opportunities and challenges in the study of polymer translocation.
