Depletion induced bundling of rod-like colloids and simulations of triple helix bundles
… simulations of rod-like colloids acting under depletion forces. In these simulations, we found bundling of the rods above a given strength of the depletion force. We then analyzed the bundle formation process and how the shape and flexibility of the rods could effect bundle formation. We then …

Investigation of Hydrodynamic and Depletion Interactions in Binary Colloidal Dispersions
… the negatively adsorbing material induces both depletion and structural forces on the dispersion, which can dramatically affect both colloidal stability and near-contact hydrodynamics. This project focused on expanding our understanding of the effects of such negatively adsorbing materials on …

MODELLING POLYMER-INDUCED ADHESION BETWEEN CHARGED MEMBRANES: THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH
… fraction of bound ions and the inter-membrane forces as a function of the surface charge density, fluid composition and solvation energies of ions. Results highlight the relevant role of the ion distribution in determining the exclusion of neutral polymer from the membrane gap provided the …

Forces and Stability in Ternary Colloidal Systems: Evidence of Synergistic Effects
Understanding and controlling the forces between colloidal particles in solution, along with the resulting stability of a dispersion of such particles, continues to be at topic of great interest. Although most laboratory studies focus on model systems in which the number of system species is kept …
