Polymer models with optimal good-solvent behavior
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto
We consider three different continuum polymer models, that all depend on a tunable parameter r that determines the strength of the excluded-volume interactions. In the first model…
Field-controlled columnar and planar patterning of cholesteric colloids
Giuseppe D'Adamo, D. Marenduzzo, C. Micheletti +1
We study how dispersions of colloidal particles in a cholesteric liquid crystal behave under a time-dependent electric field. By controlling the amplitude and shape of the applied…
Integral-equation analysis of single-site coarse-grained models for polymer-colloid mixtures
Roberto Menichetti, Andrea Pelissetto, Giuseppe D'Adamo +1
We discuss the reliability of integral-equation methods based on several commonly used closure relations in determining the phase diagram of coarse-grained models of soft-matter sy…
Coarse-graining polymer solutions: a critical appraisal of single- and multi-site models
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Roberto Menichetti, Andrea Pelissetto +1
We critically discuss and review the general ideas behind single- and multi-site coarse-grained (CG) models as applied to macromolecular solutions in the dilute and semi-dilute reg…
Accurate coarse-grained models for mixtures of colloids and linear polymers under good-solvent conditions
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
A coarse-graining strategy, previously developed for polymer solutions, is extended here to mixtures of linear polymers and hard-sphere colloids. In this approach groups of monomer…
Depletion effects in colloid-polymer solutions
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
The surface tension, the adsorption, and the depletion thickness of polymers close to a single nonadsorbing colloidal sphere are computed by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We co…
Phase diagram of mixtures of colloids and polymers in the thermal crossover from good to solvent
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We determine the phase diagram of mixtures of spherical colloids and neutral nonadsorbing polymers in the thermal crossover region between the point and the good-solvent regime…
Consistent coarse-graining strategy for polymer solutions in the thermal crossover from Good to Theta solvent
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We extend our previously developed coarse-graining strategy for linear polymers with a tunable number n of effective atoms (blobs) per chain [D'Adamo et al., J. Chem. Phys. 137, 49…
Predicting the thermodynamics by using state-dependent interactions
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We reconsider the structure-based route to coarse graining in which the coarse-grained model is defined in such a way to reproduce some distributions functions of the original syst…
Polymers as compressible soft spheres
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We consider a coarse-grained model in which polymers under good-solvent conditions are represented by soft spheres whose radii, which should be identified with the polymer radii of…
Crystalline free energies of micelles of diblock copolymer solutions
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Carlo Pierleoni
We report a characterization of the relative stability and structural behavior of various micellar crystals of an athermal model of AB-diblock copolymers in solution. We adopt a pr…
Coarse-graining strategies in polymer solutions
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We review a coarse-graining strategy (multiblob approach) for polymer solutions in which groups of monomers are mapped onto a single atom (a blob) and effective blob-blob interacti…
Consistent and transferrable coarse-grained model for semidilute polymer solutions in good solvent
Giuseppe D'Adamo, Andrea Pelissetto, Carlo Pierleoni
We present a coarse-grained model for linear polymers with a tunable number of effective atoms (blobs) per chain interacting by intra- and inter-molecular potentials obtained at ze…
