Bridging and depletion mechanisms in colloid-colloid effective interactions: A reentrant phase diagram

R Fantoni, A Giacometti, A Santos - The Journal of chemical physics, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
A general class of nonadditive sticky-hard-sphere binary mixtures, where small and large
spheres represent the solvent and the solute, respectively, is introduced. The solute-solute …

The Square-Shoulder-Asakura–Oosawa model

R Fantoni - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2016 - Elsevier
A new model for a colloidal size-asymmetric binary mixture is proposed: The Square-
Shoulder-Asakura–Oosawa. This belongs to the larger class of non-additive hard-spheres …

Coarse-grained models for polymer solutions and colloid-polymer mixtures

R Menichetti - 2016 - iris.uniroma1.it
Coarse-grained models are a very powerful---and sometimes necessary---tool in the
analysis of the thermodynamic properties of macromolecular fluids. In these models, most of …
