Fluid-fluid demixing transitions in colloid--polyelectrolyte star mixtures
M. Konieczny, C. N. Likos
We derive effective interaction potentials between hard, spherical colloidal particles and star-branched polyelectrolytes of various functionalities and smaller size than the collo…
Density functional theory of freezing for soft interactions in two dimensions
Sven van Teeffelen, Christos N. Likos, Norman Hoffmann +1
A density functional theory of two-dimensional freezing is presented for a soft interaction potential that scales as inverse cube of particle distance. This repulsive potential bet…
Polyelectrolyte stars in planar confinement
Martin Konieczny, Christos N. Likos
We employ monomer-resolved Molecular Dynamics simulations and theoretical considerations to analyze the conformations of multiarm polyelectrolyte stars close to planar, uncharged w…
Partial Clustering in Binary Two-Dimensional Colloidal Suspensions
Norman Hoffmann, Florian Ebert, Christos N. Likos +2
Strongly interacting binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a two-dimensional water-air interface are examined by theory, computer simulation and expe…
Collapse of Telechelic Star Polymers to Water-Melon Structures
Federica Lo Verso, Christos N. Likos, Christian Mayer +1
Conformational properties of star-shaped polymer aggregates that carry attractive end-groups, called telechelic star polymers, are investigated by simulation and analytical variati…
