Nanorheology of active-passive polymer mixtures is topology-sensitive

Andrea Papale, Jan Smrek, Angelo Rosa

We study the motion of dispersed nanoprobes in entangled active-passive polymer mixtures. By comparing the two architectures of linear vs. unconcatenated and unknotted circular pol…

Evolution of nematic and ferromagnetic ordering in suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets

Alenka Mertelj, Borut Lampret, Darja Lisjak +3

Suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets in isotropic solvents are very interesting examples of ferrofluids. It has been shown that above a certain concentration ΦNI such suspensions…

Limiting the valence: advancements and new perspectives on patchy colloids, soft functionalized nanoparticles and biomolecules

Emanuela Bianchi, Barbara Capone, Ivan Coluzza +2

Limited bonding valence, usually accompanied by well-defined directional interactions and selective bonding mechanisms, is nowadays considered among the key ingredients to create c…

On Ni-Sb-Sn based skutterudites

W. Paschinger, P. F. Rogl, G. Rogl +13

Novel filled skutterudites EpyNi4Sb12-xSnx (Ep = Ba and La) have been prepared by arc melting followed by annealing at 250C, 350C and 450C up to 30 days in sealed quartz vials. A m…

How soft repulsion enhances the depletion mechanism

Lorenzo Rovigatti, Nicoletta Gnan, Alberto Parola +1

We investigate binary mixtures of large colloids interacting through soft potentials with small, ideal depletants. We show that softness has a dramatic effect on the resulting coll…
