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…

Measuring topological constraint relaxation in ring-linear polymer blends

Daniel L. Vigil, Ting Ge, Michael Rubinstein +2

Polymers are an effective test-bed for studying topological constraints in condensed matter due to a wide array of synthetically-available chain topologies. When linear and ring po…

Inducing Stratification of Colloidal Mixtures with a Mixed Binary Solvent

Binghan Liu, Gary S. Grest, Shengfeng Cheng

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to demonstrate that a binary solvent can be used to stratify colloidal mixtures when the suspension is rapidly dried. The solvent consists o…
