This review discusses the structure and phase behaviour of mixtures of colloidal particles and non-adsorbing polymers in the protein limit of large polymers and small colloids. The …
We use computer simulations to study the mechanisms governing the linear viscoelasticity behavior of composites of spherical nanofillers dispersed in polymer melt matrices. Our …
We report a numerical study, covering a wide range of packing fraction ϕ and temperature T, for a system of particles interacting via a square well potential supplemented by an …
We study the mechanism of depletion stabilization and the resultant microstructure of aqueous suspensions of nanosized silica and poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA). Rheology, small …

The equilibrium and nonequilibrium phase behavior, fluid structure, and thermodynamic properties of model suspensions of flexible nonadsorbing polymers mixed with hard …
The Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory describes the equilibrium spatial correlations of liquid-like polymer systems including melts, blends, solutions, block …
Understanding the response of fillers in the epoxy resin crosslinking process and characterizing polymer–filler dynamics are the key features that guide the engineering of …
The structure of polymers in the vicinity of spherical colloids is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theory. Polymers are represented by a simple bead …
