Using Mw dependence of surface dynamics of glassy polymers to probe the length scale of free surface mobility
Yu Chai, Thomas Salez, James Forrest
We describe a series of surface levelling experiments in glassy polystyrene (PS) of varying molecular weight. The evolution through a mobile surface layer is described by the glass…
Landscape of kinetically trapped binary assemblies
Ranjan V. Mannige
For two-component assemblies, an inherent structure diagram (ISD) is the relationship between set inter-subunit energies and the types of kinetic traps (inherent structures) one ma…
Crystallization and arrest mechanisms of model colloids
Thomas K. Haxton, Lester O. Hedges, Stephen Whitelam
We performed dynamic simulations of spheres with short-range attractive interactions for many values of interaction strength and range. Fast crystallization occurs in a localized r…
Predicting the outcome of the growth of binary solids far from equilibrium
Ranjan V. Mannige, Stephen Whitelam
The growth of multicomponent structures in simulations and experiments often results in kinetically trapped, nonequilibrium objects. In such cases we have no general theoretical fr…
Selective nucleation in porous media
Lester O. Hedges, Stephen Whitelam
Geometrical arguments suggest that pore-mediated nucleation happens in general in a two-step fashion, the first step being nucleation within the pore, the second being nucleation f…
Do hierarchical structures assemble best via hierarchical pathways?
Thomas K. Haxton, Stephen Whitelam
Hierarchically structured natural materials possess functionalities unattainable to the same components organized or mixed in simpler ways. For instance, the bones and teeth of mam…
