Colloidal particles at a nematic-isotropic interface: effects of confinement
J. L. West, K. Zhang, A. Glushchenko +3
When captured by a flat nematic-isotropic interface, colloidal particles can be dragged by it. As a result spatially periodic structures may appear, with the period depending on a…
Dynamic surface decoupling in a sheared polymer melt
X. Zhou, D. Andrienko, L. Delle Site +1
We propose that several mechanisms contribute to friction in a polymer melt adsorbed at a structured surface. The first one is the well known disentanglement of bulk polymer chains…
Effective pair interactions between colloidal particles at a nematic-isotropic interface
D. Andrienko, M. Tasinkevych, S. Dietrich
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to study theoretically the interaction of parallel cylindrical colloidal particles trapped at a nematic-isotropic interface. We find that t…
Entropic torque
R. Roth, R. van Roij, D. Andrienko +2
Quantitative predictions are presented of a depletion-induced torque and force acting on a single colloidal hard rod immersed in a solvent of hard spheres close to a planar hard wa…
