Critical phenomena in colloid-polymer mixtures: interfacial tension, order parameter, susceptibility and coexistence diameter
R. L. C. Vink, J. Horbach, K. Binder
The critical behavior of a model colloid-polymer mixture, the so-called AO model, is studied using computer simulations and finite size scaling techniques. Investigated are the int…
Interplay between wetting and phase behavior in binary polymer films and wedges: Monte Carlo simulations and mean field calculations
Marcus Mueller, Kurt Binder
We study the interplay between wetting and miscibility of a symmetric polymer mixture via MC simulations and SCF calculations. The film surfaces interact with the monomers via shor…
The droplet evaporation/condensation transition in a finite volume
P. Virnau, L. G. MacDowell, M. Mueller +1
A fluid in the NVT ensemble at T less than the critical temperature T_c and rho = N/V somewhat in excess of rho_coex (density of the saturated gas in the gas-liquid transition) is…
Recent MD Results on Supercooled Thin Polymer Films
Fathollah Varnik, Joerg Baschnagel, Kurt Binder
The dynamic and static properties of a supercooled (non-entangled) polymer melt are investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The system is confined between two complet…
Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Glass Transition of Polymers
K. Binder, J. Baschnagel, C. Bennemann +1
Two coarse-grained models for polymer chains in dense glass-forming polymer melts are studied by computer simulation: the bond-fluctuation model on a simple cubic lattice, where a…
