Theoretical and numerical investigations of inverse patchy colloids in the fluid phase

Yurij V. Kalyuzhnyi, Emanuela Bianchi, Silvano Ferrari +1

We investigate the structural and thermodynamic properties of a new class of patchy colloids, referred to as inverse patchy colloids (IPCs) in their fluid phase via both theoretica…

Inverse patchy colloids with small patches: fluid structure and dynamical slowing down

Silvano Ferrari, Emanuela Bianchi, Yura V. Kalyuzhnyi +1

Inverse Patchy Colloids (IPCs) differ from conventional patchy particles because their patches repel (rather than attract) each other and attract (rather than repel) the part of th…

Structure, stability and elasticity of DNA nanotube

Himanshu Joshi, Anjan Dwaraknath, Prabal K. Maiti

DNA nanotubes are tubular structures composed of DNA crossover molecules. We present a bottom up approach for construction and characterization of these structures. Various possibl…

Polymers in disordered environments

V. Blavatska, N. Fricke, W. Janke

A brief review of our recent studies aiming at a better understanding of the scaling behaviour of polymers in disordered environments is given. The main emphasis is on a simple gen…

Ring polymers in crowded environment: conformational properties

K. Haydukivska, V. Blavatska

We analyze the universal size characteristics of flexible ring polymers in solutions in presence of structural obstacles (impurities) in d dimensions. One encounters such situation…

Description of interfaces of fluid-tethered chains: advances in density functional theories and off-lattice computer simulations

S. Sokołowski, J. Ilnytskyi, O. Pizio

Many objects of nanoscopic dimensions involve fluid-tethered chain interfaces. These systems are of interest for basic science and for several applications, in particular for desig…
