Active Rosensweig Patterns
Carlo Rigoni, Max Philipp Holl, Alberto Scacchi +5
Ferrofluids, colloidal dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles, are renowned for pattern formation like few other materials. The Rosensweig instability of a horizontal ferrofluid-air…

Adsorption of polyelectrolytes in the presence of varying dielectric discontinuity between solution and substrate
Hossein Vahid, Alberto Scacchi, Maria Sammalkorpi +1
We examine the interactions between polyelectrolytes (PEs) and uncharged substrates at conditions corresponding to a dielectric discontinuity between the aqueous solution and the s…

A Coarse-grained Model for Aqueous Two-phase Systems: Application to Ferrofluids
Alberto Scacchi, Carlo Rigoni, Mikko Haataja +2
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs), that is, phase-separating solutions of water soluble but mutually immiscible molecular species, offer fascinating prospects for selective partiti…
