Computer simulations of colloidal gels: how hindered particle rotation affects structure and rheology
Hong T. Nguyen, Alan L. Graham, Peter H. Koenig +1
The effects of particle roughness and short-ranged non-central forces on colloidal gels are studied using computer simulations in which particles experience a sinusoidal variation…
Factors influencing thermal solidification of bent-core trimers
Elvin D. Salcedo, Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy
Bent-core trimers are a simple model system for which the competition between crystallization and glass-formation can be tuned by varying a single parameter:\ the bond angle .…
Isostaticity and the solidification of semiflexible polymer melts
Christian O. Plaza-Rivera, Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy
Using molecular dynamics simulations of a tangent-soft-sphere bead-spring polymer model, we examine the degree to which semiflexible polymer melts solidify at isostaticity. Flexibl…
Effect of chain stiffness on the dynamics and microstructure of crystallizable bead-spring polymer melts
Hong T. Nguyen, Robert S. Hoy
We constrast the dynamics in model unentangled polymer melts of chains of three different stiffnesses: flexible, intermediate, and rodlike. Flexible and rodlike chains, which readi…
Effect of chain stiffness on the competition between crystallization and glass-formation in model colloidal polymers
Hong T. Nguyen, Tyler B. Smith, Robert S. Hoy +1
We map out the solid-state morphologies formed by model soft-pearl-necklace polymers as a function of bending stiffness spanning the range from fully flexible to rodlike chai…
