Investigation of the structure and thermodynamics of star-polymers in semi-dilute solution
F. Benzouine, M. Yassine, A. Derouiche +2
In this work, we consider a semi-dilute solution of identical star-polymers, made of attached flexible long polymer chains of the same polymerization degree N. We first compute the…

Surface-mediated attraction between colloids
Hamid Kaidi, Thomas Bickel, Mabrouk Benhamou
We investigate the equilibrium properties of a colloidal solution in contact with a soft interface. As a result of symmetry breaking, surface effects are generally prevailing in co…

Statistical mechanics of a colloidal suspension in contact with a fluctuating membrane
Thomas Bickel, Mabrouk Benhamou, Hamid Kaidi
Surface effects are generally prevailing in confined colloidal systems. Here we report on dispersed nanoparticles close to a fluid membrane. Exact results regarding the static orga…
