Phase Behaviour of Colloid + Polymer Mixtures
A new treatment of the phase behaviour of a colloid + nonadsorbing polymer mixture is described. The calculated phase diagrams show marked polymer partitioning between coexisting phases, an effect not considered in the usual effective-potential approaches to this problem. We also predict that under certain conditions an area of three-phase coexistence should appear in the phase diagram. Introdu...
متن کاملOrientational and phase-coexistence behaviour of hard rod-sphere mixtures
Results are presented from Monte Carlo simulations of bulk mixtures of Hard Gaussian Overlap particles with an aspect ratio of 3:1 and hard spheres with diameters equal to the breadths of the rods. For sphere number-concentrations of 50% and lower, compression of the isotropic fluid results in formation of a homogeneous (i.e. compositionally mixed) nematic phase. The volume fraction of this iso...
متن کامل1 Phase behavior of rod - like viruses and virus / sphere mixtures
The reasons physicists give for studying colloids are varied. Our initial motivation was that colloids can serve as model experimental systems to study simple fluids because with careful preparation, colloids approximate hard particles. Numerous studies have investigated the phase behavior, structure, and macroscopic viscoelastic properties of suspensions of spherical colloids (Poon and Pusey 1...
متن کاملINVITED ARTICLE Thermodynamic perturbation theory of the phase behaviour of colloid/interacting polymer mixtures
Thermodynamic perturbation theory is used to calculate the free energies and resulting phase diagrams of binary systems of spherical colloidal particles and interacting polymer coils in a good solvent within an effective one-component representation of such mixtures, whereby the colloidal particles interact via a polymer-induced depletion potential. Monte Carlo simulations are used to test the ...
متن کاملBulk fluid phase behaviour of colloidal platelet-sphere and platelet-polymer mixtures.
Using a geometry-based fundamental measure density functional theory, we calculate bulk fluid phase diagrams of colloidal mixtures of vanishingly thin hard circular platelets and hard spheres. We find isotropic-nematic phase separation, with strong broadening of the biphasic region, upon increasing the pressure. In mixtures with large size ratio of platelet and sphere diameters, there is also d...
