Polydisperse star polymer solutions
Christian von Ferber, Arben Jusufi, Martin Watzlawek +2
We analyze the effect of polydispersity in the arm number on the effective interactions, structural correlations and the phase behavior of star polymers in a good solvent. The effe…
Fluid and solid phases of the Gaussian core model
A. Lang, C. N. Likos, M. Watzlawek +1
We study the structural and thermodynamic properties of a model of point particles interacting by means of a Gaussian pair potential first introduced by Stillinger [Stillinger F H…
Exact Criterion for Determining Clustering vs. Reentrant Melting Behavior for Bounded Interaction Potentials
C. N. Likos, A. Lang, M. Watzlawek +1
We examine in full generality the phase behavior of systems whose constituent particles interact by means of potentials which do not diverge at the origin, are free of attractive p…
Triplet forces between star polymers
Christian von Ferber, Arben Jusufi, Christos N. Likos +2
We analyze the effective triplet interactions between the centers of star polymers in a good solvent. Using an analytical short distance expansion inspired by scaling theory, we de…
Colloids with polymer stars: The interaction
Christian von Ferber, Yurij Holovatch, Arben Jusufi +3
We derive the short distance interaction of star polymers in a colloidal solution. We calculate the corresponding force between two stars with arbitrary numbers of legs f_1 and f_2…
The Phase Diagram of Star Polymer Solutions
M. Watzlawek, C. N. Likos, H. Loewen
The phase diagram of star polymer solutions in a good solvent is obtained over a wide range of densities and arm numbers by Monte Carlo simulations. The effective interaction betwe…
