Shear Banding in Simulations of Polymer Melts
Lucas L. Nelson, Gary S. Grest, Peter D. Olmsted
Results from numerical simulations of polymers under shear flow are compared with predictions for shear banding based on a model coupling Rolie-Poly-like tube dynamics to the entan…
Shape Elasticity in Colloidal Bent-Core Liquid Crystals
Nicholas W. Hackney, Joel T. Clemmer, Gary S. Grest
Curved particles have been shown to stabilize a range of states with unique order in dense suspensions of colloidal bent core liquid crystals. The shape of the colloidal rods encou…
Analytical Interaction Potentials for Disks in Two Dimensions
Binghan Liu, Junwen Wang, Gary S. Grest +1
Compact analytical forms are derived for the interactions involving thin disks in two dimensions using an integration approach. These include interactions between a disk and a mate…
Effect of Particle Shape on Stratification in Drying Films of Binary Colloidal Mixtures
Binghan Liu, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng
The role of particle shape in evaporation-induced auto-stratification in dispersed colloidal suspensions is explored with molecular dynamics simulations of mixtures of solid sphere…
