Surface anchoring on liquid crystalline polymer brushes
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
We present a Monte Carlo study of the surface anchoring of a nematic fluid on swollen layers of grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules. The liquid crystalline particles are mod…
Surface anchoring on layers of grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules: A computer simulation
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
By Monte Carlo simulations of a soft ellipsoid model for liquid crystals, we study whether a layer of grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules can induce tilt in a nematic fluid.…
An anchoring transition at surfaces with grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules
Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
The anchoring of nematic liquid crystals on surfaces with grafted liquid crystalline chain molecules is studied by computer simulations and within a mean field approach. The comput…
Short grafted chains: Monte Carlo simulations of a model for monolayers of amphiphiles
Christoph Stadler, Harald Lange, Friederike Schmid
We present Monte Carlo simulations of a coarse-grained model for Langmuir monolayers of amphiphile molecules on a polar substrate. The molecules are modelled as chains of Lennard-J…
Theoretical modelling of Langmuir monolayers
F. Schmid, C. Stadler, H. Lange
We study coarse grained, continuum models for Langmuir monolayers by self consistent field theory and by Monte Carlo simulations. Amphiphilic molecules are represented by stiff cha…
Influence of the Head Group Size on the Direction of Tilt in Langmuir Monolayers
F. Schmid, H. Lange
A model of rods with heads of variable size, which are confined to a planar surface, is used to study the influence of the head group size on tilted phases in Langmuir monolayers.…
