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…
Microrheology of colloidal suspensions via Dynamic Monte Carlo simulations
Fabián A. García Daza, Antonio M. Puertas, Alejandro Cuetos +1
Understanding the rheology of colloidal suspensions is crucial in the formulation of a wide selection of industry-relevant products. To characterise the viscoelastic behaviour of t…
Diffusion of Globular Macromolecules in Liquid Crystals of Colloidal Cuboids
Luca Tonti, Fabián A. García Daza, Alessandro Patti
Macromolecular diffusion in dense colloidal suspensions is an intriguing topic of interdisciplinary relevance in Science and Engineering. While significant efforts have been undert…
Dynamics of Uniaxial-to-Biaxial Nematics Switching in Suspensions of Hard Cuboids
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Daniel Corbett +2
Field-induced reorientation of colloidal particles is especially relevant to manipulate the optical properties of a nanomaterial for target applications. We have recently shown tha…
Polymer-induced microcolony compaction in early biofilms: a computer simulation study
Francisco Javier Lobo-Cabrera, Alessandro Patti, Fernando Govantes +1
Microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, have the ability of colonizing surfaces and developing biofilms that can determine diseases and infections. Most bacteria secrete a signifi…
