Long range ionic and short range hydration effects govern strongly anisotropic clay nanoparticle interactions
Andrea Zen, Tai Bui, Tran Thi Bao Le +6
The aggregation of clay particles in aqueous solution is a ubiquitous everyday process of broad environmental and technological importance. However, it is poorly understood at the…
Role of Structural Rigidity and Collective Behaviour in the Molecular Design of Gas Hydrates Anti-Agglomerants
François Sicard, Alberto Striolo
Antiagglomerants (AAs) are surface active molecules widely used in the rubber and petroleum industry, among others. In the petroleum industry, it is believed that AAs strongly adso…
Universal Particle Kinetic Distribution in Crowded Environments
Dian Fan, Ronny Pini, Alberto Striolo
We study many-particle transport in heterogeneous, crowded environments at different particle Péclet numbers (). We demonstrate that a modified Nakagami- function describe…
Nanoparticles actively fragment armored droplets
François Sicard, Jhoan Toro-Mendoza, Alberto Striolo
Understanding the complexity of fragmentation processes is essential for regulating intercellular communication in mechanistic biology and developing novel bottom-up approaches in…
Emergent Properties of Antiagglomerant Films Control Methane Transport: Implications for Hydrate Management
François Sicard, Tai Bui, Deepak Monteiro +4
The relation between collective properties and performance of antiagglomerants (AAs) used in hydrate management is handled using molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced samplin…
Buckling in Armored Droplets
François Sicard, Alberto Striolo
The issue of the buckling mechanism in droplets stabilized by solid particles (armored droplets) is tackled at a mesoscopic level using dissipative particle dynamics simulations. W…
