A solvent-flux theory for nonequilibrium swelling dynamics of thermoresponsive microgels
Arturo Moncho-Jordá, Alessandro Patti, Fabián A. García-Daza +1
Thermoresponsive microgels undergo large reversible size changes as temperature alters solvent quality. Predicting their nonequilibrium swelling and deswelling kinetics is challeng…
Kinetics of isotropic to string-like phase switching in electrorheological fluids of nanocubes
Luca Tonti, Fabián Alonso García Daza, Alessandro Patti
Applying an electric field to polarisable colloidal particles, whose permittivity differs from that of the dispersing medium, generates induced dipoles that promote the formation o…
Dynamics in field-induced biaxial nematic liquid crystals of board-like particles
Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Alessandro Patti, Alejandro Cuetos
Biaxial nematic () liquid crystals have been indicated as promising candidates for the design of next-generation displays with novel electro-optical properties and faster swit…
Active microrheology of colloidal suspensions of hard cuboids
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Fabián A. García Daza +1
By performing dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the microrheology of isotropic suspensions of hard-core colloidal cuboids. In particular, we infer the local viscoelas…
Long-time relaxation dynamics in nematic and smectic liquid crystals of soft-repulsive colloidal rods
Daniela Cywiak, Alejandro Gil-Villegas, Alessandro Patti
Understanding the relaxation dynamics of colloidal suspensions is crucial to identify the elements that influence the mobility of their constituents, assess their macroscopic respo…
Dynamics of Colloidal Cubes and Cuboids in Cylindrical Nanopores
Alessandro Patti, Alejandro Cuetos
Understanding how colloidal suspensions behave in confined environments has a striking relevance in practical applications. Despite the fact that the behaviour of colloids in the b…
