Granular drag and lift force on a flexible fiber

Antonio Pol, Sara Storti, Fabio Gabrieli

In this work, we investigate the forces acting on a flexible fiber dragged through a granular bed. Using discrete element simulations, we observe that, after a sufficiently large d…

Structure and elasticity of model disordered, polydisperse and defect-free polymer networks

Valerio Sorichetti, Andrea Ninarello, José Ruiz-Franco +5

The elasticity of disordered and polydisperse polymer networks is a fundamental problem of soft matter physics that is still open. Here, we self-assemble polymer networks via simul…

Dynamics of nanoparticles in polydisperse polymer networks: From free diffusion to hopping

Valerio Sorichetti, Virginie Hugouvieux, Walter Kob

Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the static and dynamic properties of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a disordered and polydisperse polymer network. Purely r…

The effect of chain polydispersity on the elasticity of disordered polymer networks

Valerio Sorichetti, Andrea Ninarello, José M. Ruiz-Franco +4

Due to their unique structural and mechanical properties, randomly-crosslinked polymer networks play an important role in many different fields, ranging from cellular biology to in…

Irreversible hardening of a colloidal gel under shear: the smart response of natural rubber latex gels

Guilherme de Oliveira Reis, Thomas Gibaud, Brice Saint-Michel +6

Natural rubber is obtained by processing natural rubber latex, a liquid colloidal suspension that rapidly gels after exudation from the tree. We prepared such gels by acidification…

Particle dynamics simulation of wet granulation in a rotating drum

Thanh Trung Vo, Saeid Nezamabadi, Patrick Mutabaruka +4

We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three…
