Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

The structure of a protein complex together with information about its affinity and other
thermodynamic characteristics provide a “frozen” view of the complex. This picture ignores …

This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the phase behaviour of, and
interfacial properties in, complex colloidal mixtures (eg, clay, milk, blood). Insights into …

The Equilibrium Theory of Inhomogeneous Polymers provides an introduction to the field-
theoretic methods and computer simulation techniques that are used in the design of …

Foods make up some of the most complex examples of soft condensed matter (SCM) with
which we interact daily. Their complexity arises from several factors: the intricacy of …

The addition of non-adsorbing polymer to a colloidal suspension induces an
interparticle'depletion'attraction whose range and depth can be'tuned'independently by …

We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on a model polymer–nanoparticle
composite (PNPC) consisting of spherical nanoparticles in a bead-spring polymer melt. The …

This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of polyethersulfone–TiO2 (PES–
TiO2) nanoparticle composite membranes made from synthesis casting solution consisting …

The microscopic polymer reference interaction site model theory of polymer nanocomposites
composed of flexible chains and spherical nanoparticles has been employed to study …
