Interaction of nanoparticles with ideal liquid-liquid interfaces
(2009)
Using molecular simulations the interaction between a noncharged nanoparticle and an ideal liquid-liquid interface is studied. The free energy profile as function of nanoparticle-interface separation is determined using ...
Molecular structure and phase behaviour of hairy-rod polymers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the relationship between molecular architecture and phase behaviour in model hairy-rod polymers is studied. In agreement with experimental and theoretical studies the phase ...
Stability of Janus nanoparticles at fluid interface
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
Using Monte Carlo simulations the interaction of a nanometre-sized, spherical Janus particle (a particle with two distinct surface regions of different functionality, in this case showing amphiphilic behaviour) with an ...
Quenched-annealed density functional theory for interfacial behavior of hard rods at a hard rod matrix
(AIP Publishing, 2009)
We consider a system of mobile hard rods that are immersed in an isotropic matrix of hard rods with quenched positions and orientations. Using quenched-annealed density functional theory the disorder-averaged excess free ...
