Scattering from small colloidal particles in a semidilute polymer solution
The correlations between the segments of a semidilute polymer solution are found to induce correlations in the positions of small particles added to the solution. Small means a diameter much less than the polymer’s correlation length. In the presence of polymer the particles behave as if they attracted each other. It is shown how the polymer’s correlation length may be determined from a scatter...
متن کاملPolymer adsorption on colloidal particles
2014 We consider the adsorption of polymers on colloidal particles 2014 spheres and cylinders 2014 whose dimensions are comparable to solution polymer radii of gyration. Adsorption occurs if the « sticking energy » per monomer exceeds a certain threshold. For a colloidal particle, this threshold increases by an amount inversely proportional to its radius. In addition, the repulsive interactions...
متن کاملDynamics of colloidal particles with capillary interactions.
We investigate the dynamics of colloids at a fluid interface driven by attractive capillary interactions. At submillimeter length scales, the capillary attraction is formally analogous to two-dimensional gravity. In particular it is a nonintegrable interaction and it can be actually relevant for collective phenomena in spite of its weakness at the level of the pair potential. We introduce a mea...
متن کاملPolymer depletion profiles around nonspherical colloidal particles.
We study the effect of chain self-avoidance on the polymer density profiles that are induced by a single colloidal particle of nonspherical shape such as an ellipsoid, a dumbbell, or a lens in a solution of nonadsorbing polymers. For colloid sizes sigma much smaller than the size R(x) of the polymers, we observe a pronounced difference between ideal and self-avoiding chains. In the case of idea...
متن کاملEffective pair interactions between colloidal particles at a nematic - isotropic interface
– The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to study theoretically the interaction of parallel cylindrical colloidal particles trapped at a nematic-isotropic interface. We find that the effective interaction potential is non-monotonic. The corresponding force-distance curves exhibit jumps and hysteresis upon approach/separation due to the creation/annihilation of topological defects. Minimizatio...
