Interaction of colloids with a nematic-isotropic interface
D. Andrienko, M. Tasinkevych, P. Patricio +1
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to calculate the interaction between long cylindrical colloids and the nematic-isotropic (NI) interface. This interaction has two contribut…
Twist-bend instability for toroidal DNA condensates
Igor M. Kulic, Denis Andrienko, Markus Deserno
We propose that semiflexible polymers in poor solvent collapse in two stages. The first stage is the well known formation of a dense toroidal aggregate. However, if the solvent is…
Young's modulus of polyelectrolyte multilayers from microcapsule swelling
O. I. Vinogradova, D. Andrienko, V. V. Lulevich +2
We measure Young's modulus of a free polyelectrolyte multilayer film by studying osmotically induced swelling of polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules filled with the polyelectr…
Forces between elongated particles in a nematic colloid
D. Andrienko, M. Tasinkevych, P. Patricio +2
Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations we study the interactions between elongated colloidal particles (length to breath ratio > 1) in a nematic host. The simulation results are…
Elasticity of polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules
V. V. Lulevich, D. Andrienko, O. I. Vinogradova
We present a novel approach to probe elastic properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules. The method is based on measurements of the capsule load-deformation curves with…
Boundary slip as a result of a prewetting transition
D. Andrienko, Burkhard Dünweg, Olga I. Vinogradova
Some fluids exhibit anomalously low friction when flowing against a certain solid wall. To recover the viscosity of a bulk fluid, slip at the wall is usually postulated. On a macro…
