Thermodynamics of Hard Sphere and Spherocylinder Mixtures -- Scaled Particle Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations

Volodymyr Shmotolokha, Jonas Maier-Borst, Mark Vis +2

We review the literature on scaled particle theory (SPT) and its extensions and discuss results applied to describe the thermodynamics of hard particle mixtures. After explaining t…

Repulsive and attractive depletion forces mediated by nonadsorbing polyelectrolytes in the Donnan limit

Jasper Landman, Max P. M. Schelling, Remco Tuinier +1

In mixtures of colloids and nonadsorbing polyelectrolytes, a Donnan potential arises across the region between surfaces that are depleted of polyelectrolyte and the rest of the sys…

Defying the Gibbs Phase Rule: Evidence for an Entropy-Driven Quintuple Point in Colloid-Polymer Mixtures

V. F. D. Peters, M. Vis, Á. González García +2

Using a minimal algebraic model for the thermodynamics of binary rod--polymer mixtures, we provide evidence for a quintuple phase equilibrium; an observation that seems to be at od…

Algebraic equations of state for the liquid crystalline phase behavior of hard rods

V. F. D. Peters, M. Vis, H. H. Wensink +1

Based on simplifications of previous numerical calculations [Graf and Löwen, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{59}, 1932 (1999)], we propose algebraic free energy expressions for the smectic-A…

Experimental Evidence for Algebraic Double-Layer Forces

Biljana Stojimirovic, Mark Vis, Remco Tuinier +2

According to conventional wisdom electric double-layer forces normally decay exponentially with separation distance. Here we present experimental evidence of algebraically decaying…
