چکیده

By employing computer simulations for a model binary mixture, we show that a reentrant glass transition upon adding a second component occurs only if the ratio alpha of the short-time mobilities between the glass-forming component and the additive is sufficiently small. For alpha approximately 1, there is no reentrant glass, even if the size asymmetry between the two components is large, in accordance with the two-component mode-coupling theory. For alpha<<1, on the other hand, the reentrant glass is observed and reproduced only by an effective one-component mode-coupling theory.

Multiple Glass Transitions in Star Polymer Mixtures: Insights from Theory and Simulations

The glass transition in binary mixtures of star polymers is studied by mode coupling theory and extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations. In particular, we have explored vitrification in the parameter space of size asymmetry δ and concentration F2 of the small star polymers at fixed concentration of the large ones. Depending on the choice of parameters, three different glassy states ar...

Structure, compressibility factor, and dynamics of highly size-asymmetric binary hard-disk liquids.

By using event-driven molecular dynamics simulation, we investigate effects of varying the area fraction of the smaller component on structure, compressibility factor, and dynamics of the highly size-asymmetric binary hard-disk liquids. We find that the static pair correlations of the large disks are only weakly perturbed by adding small disks. The higher-order static correlations of the large ...

VLE Predictions of Strongly Non-Ideal Binary Mixtures by Modifying Van Der Waals and Orbey-Sandler Mixing Rules

By proposing a predictive method with no adjustable parameter and by using infinite dilution activity coefficients of components in binary mixtures obtained from UNIFAC model, the binary interaction parameters (k12) in van der Waals mixing rule (vdWMR) and Orbey-Sandler mixing rule (OSMR) have been evaluated. The predicted binary interaction parameters are used in Peng-Robinson-S...

Reentrant behavior of relaxation time with viscosity at varying composition in binary mixtures.

In order to understand the long known anomalies in the composition dependence of diffusion and viscosity of binary mixtures, we introduce here two new models and carry out extensive molecular dynamics simulations. In these models, the two molecular species (A and B) have the same diameter and mass. In model I the interspecies interaction is more attractive than that between the pure components,...
