Nanoparticle ordering in sandwiched polymer brushes
Tine Curk, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea, Daan Frenkel +1
The organization of nano-particles inside grafted polymer layers is governed by the interplay of polymer-induced entropic interactions and the action of externally applied fields.…
Designing stimulus-sensitive colloidal walkers
Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea, Bortolo M. Mognetti, Stefano Angioletti-Uberti +3
Colloidal particles with DNA `legs' that can bind reversibly to receptors on a surface can be made to `walk' if there is a gradient in receptor concentration. We use a combination…
Procedure to construct a multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA-coated colloids from experimental data
Bianca M. Mladek, Julia Fornleitner, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea +2
We present a quantitative, multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA coated colloids. The parameters of this model are transferable and are solely based on experimental data. As a te…
Layering, freezing and re-entrant melting of hard spheres in soft confinement
Tine Curk, Anouk de Hoogh, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea +4
Confinement can have a dramatic effect on the behavior of all sorts of particulate systems and it therefore is an important phenomenon in many different areas of physics and techno…
Collective sedimentation of colloids in grafted polymer layers
Tine Curk, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea, Daan Frenkel +1
We present Monte Carlo simulations of colloidal particles pulled into grafted polymer layers by external fields. The insertion free energy of a single colloid into the polymer laye…
Quantitative prediction of the phase diagram of DNA-functionalized nano-colloids
Bianca M. Mladek, Julia Fornleitner, Francisco J. Martinez-Veracoechea +2
We present a coarse-grained model of DNA-functionalized colloids that is computationally tractable. Importantly, the model parameters are solely based on experimental data. Using t…
