Phase separation in star-polymer-colloid mixtures.
We examine the demixing transition in star-polymer-colloid mixtures for star arm numbers f=2,6,16,32 and different star-polymer-colloid size ratios 0.18< or =q< or =0.50. Theoretically, we solve the thermodynamically self-consistent Rogers-Young integral equations for binary mixtures using three effective pair potentials obtained from direct molecular computer simulations. The numerical results...
متن کاملDepletion potentials in colloidal mixtures of spheres and rods
We calculate the depletion potential between two hard spheres of radii Rs and that between one hard sphere and a planar hard wall in a sea of hard rigid spherocylindrical rods of length L and radius Rr . Unlike earlier studies our approach takes into account the true geometry of the problem and gives, to first order in the rod density, the exact depletion potential for all values of Rs , L, and...
متن کاملNematic phase transitions in mixtures of thin and thick colloidal rods.
We report experimental measurements of the phase behavior of mixtures of thin (charged semiflexible fd virus) and thick (fd-PEG, fd virus covalently coated with polyethylene glycol) rods with diameter ratio varying from 3.7 to 1.1. The phase diagrams of the rod mixtures reveal isotropic-nematic, isotropic-nematic-nematic, and nematic-nematic coexisting phases with increasing concentration. In s...
متن کاملDepletion-induced phase separation in colloid-polymer mixtures.
Phase separation can be induced in a colloidal dispersion by adding non-adsorbing polymers. Depletion of polymer around the colloidal particles induces an effective attraction, leading to demixing at sufficient polymer concentration. This communication reviews theoretical and experimental work carried out on the polymer-mediated attraction between spherical colloids and the resulting phase sepa...
متن کاملPhase transitions in nanoconfined binary mixtures of highly oriented colloidal rods.
We analyse a binary mixture of colloidal parallel hard cylindrical particles with identical diameters but dissimilar lengths L(1) and L(2), with s = L(2)/L(1) = 3, confined by two parallel hard walls in a planar slit-pore geometry, using a fundamental-measure density functional theory. This model presents nematic (N) and two types of smectic (S) phases, with first- and second-order N-S bulk tra...
