Glassy dynamics of a binary Voronoi fluid: A mode-coupling analysis
Céline Ruscher, Simone Ciarella, Chengjie Luo +3
The binary Voronoi mixture is a fluid model whose interactions are local and many-body. Here we perform molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of an equimolar mixture that is weakly p…
Glassy dynamics from generalized mode-coupling theory: existence and uniqueness of solutions for hierarchically coupled integro-differential equations
Rutger A. Biezemans, Simone Ciarella, Onur Çaylak +2
Generalized mode-coupling theory (GMCT) is a first-principles-based and systematically correctable framework to predict the complex relaxation dynamics of glass-forming materials.…
Understanding, predicting, and tuning the fragility of vitrimeric polymers
Simone Ciarella, Rutger A. Biezemans, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
Fragility is an empirical property that describes how abruptly a glass-forming material solidifies upon supercooling. The degree of fragility carries important implications for the…
Stimuli-responsive behavior of PNiPAm microgels under interfacial confinement
Johannes Harrer, Marcel Rey, Simone Ciarella +3
The volume phase transition of microgels is one of the most paradigmatic examples of stimuli-responsiveness, enabling a collapse from a highly swollen microgel state into a densely…
Dynamics of vitrimers: defects as a highway to stress relaxation
Simone Ciarella, Francesco Sciortino, Wouter G. Ellenbroek
We propose a coarse-grained model to investigate stress relaxation in star-polymer networks induced by dynamic bond exchange processes. We show how the swapping mechanism, once act…
