Symmetry-Breaking and Self-Sorting in Block Copolymer-based Multicomponent Nanocomposites
Le Ma, Hejin Huang, Peter Ercius +2
Co-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructured polymer matrix represents an intricate interplay of enthalpic or entropic forces. Particle size largely affects the…
Metamaterials for Active Colloid Transport
Shahrzad Yazdi, Juan L. Aragones, Jennifer Coulter +1
Transport phenomena in out-of-equilibrium systems is immensely important in a myriad of applications in biology, engineering and physics. Complex environments, such as the cytoplas…
Dissipative Particle Dynamics for Directed Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers
Hejin Huang, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
The dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method has been shown to be a promising tool to study self-assembly of soft matter systems. In particular, it has been used to st…
Self-assembly of cylinder forming diblock copolymers on modulated substrates: a simulation study
Karim Gadelrab, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) and strong segregation theory (SST) are used to explore the parameter space governing the self-assembly of cylinder forming block copolymers (BC…
Diffusion of self-propelled particles in complex media
Juan L. Aragones, Shahrzad Yazdi, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
The diffusion of active microscopic organisms in complex environments plays an important role in a wide range of biological phenomena from cell colony growth to single organism tra…
Anisotropic nanoparticle distribution in block copolymer model defects
YongJoo Kim, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
In this article, we study the thermodynamic behavior of anisotropic shape (rod and disk) nanoparticle within the block copolymer matrix by using self-consistent field theory (SCFT)…
