A colloid approach to self-assembling antibodies
Nicholas Skar-Gislinge, Michela Ronti, Tommy Garting +4
Concentrated solutions of monoclonal antibodies have attracted considerable attention due to their importance in pharmaceutical formulations, yet their tendency to aggregate and th…
Numerical modelling of non-ionic microgels: an overview
L. Rovigatti, N. Gnan, L. Tavagnacco +2
Microgels are complex macromolecules. These colloid-sized polymer networks possess internal degrees of freedom and, depending on the polymer(s) they are made of, can acquire a resp…
Connecting elasticity and effective interactions of neutral microgels: the validity of the Hertzian model
Lorenzo Rovigatti, Nicoletta Gnan, Andrea Ninarello +1
An important open problem in materials science is whether a direct connection exists between single-particle elastic properties and the macroscopic bulk behavior. Here we address t…
Modelling realistic microgels in an explicit solvent
Fabrizio Camerin, Nicoletta Gnan, Lorenzo Rovigatti +1
Thermoresponsive microgels are polymeric colloidal networks that can change their size in response to a temperature variation. This peculiar feature is driven by the nature of the…
Different scenarios of dynamic coupling in glassy colloidal mixtures
Marco Laurati, Tatjana Sentjabrskaja, José Ruiz-Franco +2
Colloidal mixtures represent a versatile model system to study transport in complex environments. They allow for a systematic variation of the control parameters, namely size ratio…
On the effect of the thermostat in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations
José Ruiz-Franco, Lorenzo Rovigatti, Emanuela Zaccarelli
The numerical investigation of the statics and dynamics of systems in nonequilibrium in general, and under shear flow in particular, has become more and more common. However, not a…
