Star Polymers Confined in a Nanoslit: A Simulation Test of Scaling and Self-Consistent Field Theories
J. Paturej, A. Milchev, S. A. Egorov +1
The free energy cost of confining a star polymer where flexible polymer chains containing monomeric units are tethered to a central unit in a slit with two parallel repulsi…
Langevin Dynamics simulations of a 2-dimensional colloidal crystal under confinement and shear
D. Wilms, P. Virnau, S. Sengupta +1
Langevin Dynamics simulations are used to study the effect of shear on a two-dimensional colloidal crystal confined by structured parallel walls. When walls are sheared very slowly…
Colloid-polymer mixtures in random porous media: Finite size scaling and connected versus disconnected susceptibilities
R. L. C. Vink, K. Binder, H. Loewen
As a generic model for liquid-vapour type transitions in random porous media, the Asakura-Oosawa model for colloid-polymer mixtures is studied in a matrix of quenched spheres using…
Comparison of Dissipative Particle Dynamics and Langevin thermostats for out-of-equilibrium simulations of polymeric systems
C. Pastorino, T. Kreer, M. Mueller +1
In this work we compare and characterize the behavior of Langevin and Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) thermostats in a broad range of non-equilibrium simulations of polymeric s…
Single chain structure in thin polymer films: Corrections to Flory's and Silberberg's hypotheses
A. Cavallo, M. Müller, J. P. Wittmer +2
Conformational properties of polymer melts confined between two hard structureless walls are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation of the bond-fluctuation model. Parallel and perp…
Reduction of the Glass Transition Temperature in Polymer Films: A Molecular-Dynamics Study
F. Varnik, J. Baschnagel, K. Binder
We present results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for a non-entangled polymer melt confined between two completely smooth and repulsive walls, interacting with inner partic…
