Layer-by-layer assembly of colloidal particles deposited onto the polymer-grafted elastic substrate
Kang Chen, Yu-qiang Ma
We demonstrate a novel route of spatially organizing the colloid arrangements on the polymer-grafted substrate by use of self-consistent field and density functional theories. We f…

Phase Behavior in Thin Films of Confined Colloid-Polymer Mixtures
Chun-lai Ren, Yu-qiang Ma
Using self-consistent field and density-functional theories, we first investigate colloidal self-assembling of colloid/polymer films confined between two soft surfaces grafted by p…

Interactions between colloidal particles induced by polymer brushes grafted onto the substrate
Kang Chen, Yu-qiang Ma
We investigate the interaction energy between two colloidal particles on or immersed in nonadsorbing polymer brushes grafted onto the substrate as a function of the separation of t…
