The effect of flexibility and bend angle on the phase diagram of hard colloidal boomerangs
Tara Drwenski, René van Roij
We study the effect of flexibility and bend angle on systems of hard semiflexible boomerangs. These are modelled as two rodlike segments joined at one end with an angle that can fl…

Connectedness percolation of hard convex polygonal rods and platelets
Tara Drwenski, René van Roij, Paul van der Schoot
The properties of polymer composites with nanofiller particles change drastically above a critical filler density known as the percolation threshold. Real nanofillers, such as grap…

Hard competition: stabilizing the elusive biaxial nematic phase in suspensions of colloidal particles with extreme lengths
Simone Dussi, Nikos Tasios, Tara Drwenski +2
We use computer simulations to study the existence and stability of a biaxial nematic phase in systems of hard polyhedral cuboids, triangular prisms, and rhombic platelets, c…
