Dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm for out-of-equilibrium processes in colloidal dispersions

Daniel Corbett, Alejandro Cuetos, Matthew Dennison +1

Colloids have a striking relevance in a wide spectrum of industrial formulations, spanning from personal care products to protective paints. Their behaviour can be easily influence…

Diffusion in systems crowded by active force-dipole molecules

Matthew Dennison, Raymond Kapral, Holger Stark

Experimental studies of systems containing active proteins that undergo conformational changes driven by catalytic chemical reactions have shown that the diffusion coefficients of…

Critical behaviour in the nonlinear elastic response of hydrogels

M. Dennison, M. Jaspers, P. H. J. Kouwer +3

In this paper we study the elastic response of synthetic hydrogels to an applied shear stress. The hydrogels studied here have previously been shown to mimic the behaviour of biopo…

Orientational order of carbon nanotube guests in a nematic host suspension of colloidal viral rods

Nicolas Puech, Matthew Dennison, Christophe Blanc +5

In order to investigate the coupling between the degrees of alignment of elongated particles in binary nematic dispersions, surfactant stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs…

Frustration of the isotropic-columnar phase transition of colloidal hard platelets by a transient cubatic phase

Matthieu Marechal, Alessandro Patti, Matthew Dennison +1

Using simulations and theory, we show that the cubatic phase is metastable for three model hard platelets. The locally favored structures of perpendicular particle stacks in the fl…

Phase diagram and effective shape of semi-flexible colloidal rods and biopolymers

Matthew Dennison, Marjolein Dijkstra, Rene van Roij

We study suspensions of semi-flexible colloidal rods and biopolymers using an Onsager-type second-virial functional for a segmented-chain model. For suspensions of thin and thick f…
