Differently Shaped Hard Body Colloids in Confinement: From passive to active particles
Henricus H. Wensink, Hartmut Löwen, Matthieu Marechal +5
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of anisotropic hard colloidal particles. The shapes considered range from rods and dumbbells to rounded cubes, polyhedra an…
Crystallizing hard-sphere glasses by doping with active particles
Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
Crystallization and vitrification are two different routes to form a solid. Normally these two processes suppress each other, with the glass transition preventing crystallization a…
Highly cooperative stress relaxation in two-dimensional soft colloidal crystals
B. van der Meer, W. Qi, R. Fokkink +3
Stress relaxation in crystalline solids is mediated by the formation and diffusion of defects. While it is well established how externally-generated stresses relax, through the pro…
Through the Eye of the Needle: Recent Advances in Understanding Biopolymer Translocation
Debabrata Panja, Gerard T. Barkema, Anatoly B. Kolomeisky
In recent years polymer translocation, i.e., transport of polymeric molecules through nanometer-sized pores and channels embedded in membranes, has witnessed strong advances. It is…
Two-stage melting induced by dislocations and grain boundaries in Monolayers of Hard Spheres
Weikai Qi, Anjan P. Gantapara, Marjolein Dijkstra
Melting in two-dimensional systems has remained controversial as theory, simulations, and experiments show contrasting results. One issue that obscures this discussion is whether o…
Nematic droplets in aqueous dispersions of carbon nanotubes
Nicolas Puech, Eric Grelet, Philippe Poulin +2
Aqueous dispersions of exfoliated, bile-salt stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes exhibit a first order transition to a nematic liquid-crystalline phase. The nematic phase prese…
Orientational order of carbon nanotube guests in a nematic host suspension of colloidal viral rods
Nicolas Puech, Matthew Dennison, Christophe Blanc +5
In order to investigate the coupling between the degrees of alignment of elongated particles in binary nematic dispersions, surfactant stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs…
Colloidal analogues of charged and uncharged polymer chains with tunable stiffness
Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri, Ahmet Faik Demirörs, Bo Peng +3
Herein, we describe new methods to produce colloidal particle chains of three stiffness regimes that can be observed on a single-particle level, that is, on the level of the monome…
Pushing the glass transition towards random close packing using self-propelled hard spheres
Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Marjolein Dijkstra
Although the concept of random close packing with an almost universal packing fraction of ~ 0.64 for hard spheres was introduced more than half a century ago, there are still ongoi…
Self-consistent field predictions for quenched spherical biocompatible triblock copolymer micelles
Jérôme G. J. L. Lebouille, Remco Tuinier, Leo F. W. Vleugels +2
We have used the Scheutjens-Fleer self-consistent field (SF-SCF) method to predict the self-assembly of triblock copolymers with a solvophilic middle block and sufficiently long so…
Tension, rigidity and preferential curvature of interfaces between coexisting polymer solutions
R. H. Tromp, E. M. Blokhuis
The properties of the interface in a phase-separated solution of polymers with different degrees of polymerization and Kuhn segment lengths are calculated. The starting point is th…
Effect of controlled corrugation on capillary condensation of colloid-polymer mixtures
Andrea Fortini, Matthias Schmidt
We investigate with Monte Carlo computer simulations the capillary phase behaviour of model colloid-polymer mixtures confined between a flat wall and a corrugated wall. The corruga…
Quasiuniversal connectedness percolation of polydisperse rod systems
Biagio Nigro, Claudio Grimaldi, Peter Ryser +2
The connectedness percolation threshold (eta_c) and critical coordination number (Z_c) of systems of penetrable spherocylinders characterized by a length polydispersity are studied…
Unwinding relaxation dynamics of polymers
Jean-Charles Walter, Marco Baiesi, Gerard Barkema +1
The relaxation dynamics of a polymer wound around a fixed obstacle constitutes a fundamental instance of polymer with twist and torque and it is of relevance also for DNA denaturat…
