Critical active dynamics is captured by a colored-noise driven field theory
Claudio Maggi, Nicoletta Gnan, Matteo Paoluzzi +2
We numerically investigate the correlation function, the response and the breakdown of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem (FDT) in active particles close to the motility-induced c…
Effective potentials induced by mixtures of patchy and hard co-solutes
Philip H. Handle, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Nicoletta Gnan
The addition of co-solutes to colloidal suspensions is often employed to induce tunable depletion interactions. In this work we investigate effective colloidal interactions arising…
Dynamical properties of different models of elastic polymer rings: confirming the link between deformation and fragility
Nicoletta Gnan, Fabrizio Camerin, Giovanni Del Monte +2
We report extensive numerical simulations of different models of 2D polymer rings with internal elasticity. We monitor the dynamical behavior of the rings as a function of the pack…
Two-step deswelling in the Volume Phase Transition of thermoresponsive microgels
Giovanni Del Monte, Domenico Truzzolillo, Fabrizio Camerin +7
Thermoresponsive microgels are one of the most investigated class of soft colloids, thanks to their ability to undergo a Volume Phase Transition (VPT) close to ambient temperature.…
Charge affinity and solvent effects in numerical simulations of ionic microgels
G. Del Monte, F. Camerin, A. Ninarello +3
Ionic microgel particles are intriguing systems in which the properties of thermo-responsive polymeric colloids are enriched by the presence of charged groups. In order to rational…
