Shaping the aggregates of discotic particles with directional pair interactions
B. MartÃnez-Haya, N. Morillo, A. Cuetos
Aggregation processes in systems of planar macromolecules and colloids drive a broad range of phenomena in natural systems and soft materials. Depending on chemical architecture, i…
Relevance of the Computational Models of Bacterial Interactions in the simulation of Biofilm Growth
Gabriel Santos-DÃaz, Ãlvaro RodrÃguez-Rivas, Alejandro Cuetos
This study explores the application of elongated particle interaction models, traditionally used in liquid crystal phase research, in the context of early bacterial biofilm develop…
Diffusion of Tracer Particles in Early Growing Biofilms. A Computer Simulation Study
Fabian A. Garcia Daza, Alvaro Rodriguez-Rivas, Fernando Govantes +1
The diffusion of particles in complex media has gained significant interest due to its dual relevance: probing the viscoelastic properties of materials via microrheology and assess…
Vapour-Liquid equilibrium and low-temperature liquid-crystal phase diagram of discotic colloids
Alejandro Cuetos and, Bruno MartÃnez-Haya, José Manuel Romero-Enrique
Discotic colloids give rise to a paradigmatic family of liquid crystals with sound applications in Materials Science. In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to charact…
