Droplet transport in a nanochannel coated by hydrophobic semiflexible polymer brushes: the effect of chain stiffness
Kevin Speyer, Claudio Pastorino
We study the influence of chain stiffness on droplet flow in a nano-channel, coated with semiflexible hydrophobic polymers by means of non-equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulation…
Fluctuation-induced forces between rings threaded around a polymer chain under tension
F. M. Gilles, R. Llubaroff, C. Pastorino
We characterize the fluctuation properties of a polymer chain under external tension and the fluctuation-induced forces between two ring molecules threaded around the chain. The pr…
Structure, thermodynamic properties, and phase diagrams of few colloids confined in a spherical pore
Iván Paganini, Claudio Pastorino, Ignacio Urrutia
We study a system of few colloids confined in a small spherical cavity by event driven molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. The colloidal particles interact th…
Mean properties and Free Energy of a few hard spheres confined in a spherical cavity
Ignacio Urrutia, Claudio Pastorino
We use analytical calculations and event-driven molecular dynamics simulations to study a small number of hard sphere particles in a spherical cavity. The cavity is taken also as t…
Molecular transport and flow past hard and soft surfaces: Computer simulation of model systems
F. Léonforte, J. Servantie, C. Pastorino +1
The properties of polymer liquids on hard and soft substrates are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained bead-spring model and dynamic single-chain-in-me…
Cyclic motion and inversion of surface flow direction in a dense polymer brush under shear
M. Müller, C. Pastorino
Using molecular simulations, we study the properties of a polymer brush in contact with an explicit solvent under Couette and Poiseuille flow. The solvent is comprised of chemicall…
