Recent advances in experimental techniques to synthesise particles with non-convex
shapes have provided new challenges and opportunities to the modelling community. The …

Non-spherical polymer nanoparticles with tunable morphology are an emerging class of
functional materials with enormous potential in drug delivery, sensing, and soft robotics …

Confined systems ranging from the atomic to the granular are ubiquitous in nature.
Experiments and simulations of such atomic and granular systems have shown a complex …

Understanding how colloidal suspensions behave in confined environments has a striking
relevance in practical applications. Despite the fact that the behavior of colloids in the bulk is …

Charged fluorescent bowl‐shaped colloids consisting of a polystyrene core surrounded by a
poly (N‐isopropylmethacrylamide) shell are obtained by nanoengineering spherical …

Orientational order in condensed matter plays a key role in determining material properties
such as ferromagnetism, viscoelasticity or birefringence. We studied purely orientational …

Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the phase behavior of hard cubes, truncated
cubes, cuboctahedra and truncated octahedra when confined between two parallel hard …

We study the structure and fluid-phase behaviour of binary mixtures of hard spheres (HSs)
and hard spherocylinders (HSCs) in isotropic and nematic states using the NP n AT …

By using theoretical methods and Monte Carlo simulations, this work investigates dense
ordered packings and equilibrium phase behavior (from the low-density isotropic fluid …

We study the structure and liquid-crystalline phase behaviour of a model of confined non-
convex circular soft-repulsive nanorings in a planar slit geometry using molecular-dynamics …
