When systems that can undergo phase separation between two coexisting phases in the
bulk are confined in thin film geometry between parallel walls, the phase behavior can be …

Solutions of different polymers in the same solvent are incompatible as a rule and show
phase separation when they are mixed. H incompatibility is also to be observed in systems …

The past five years have witnessed considerable progress in the field of colloid physics, in
particular when colloidal dispersions are exposed to external fields such as shear flow …

In many colloidal suspensions, the micrometer-sized particles behave like hard spheres, but
when non-adsorbing polymers are added to the solution a depletion attraction (of entropic …

We examine two free-energy-based methods for studying the wetting properties of a fluid in
contact with a solid substrate. Application of the first approach involves examination of the …

In a system of colloidal inclusions suspended in an equilibrium bath of smaller particles, the
particulate bath engenders effective, short-ranged, primarily attractive interactions between …

Abstract The Asakura–Oosawa–Vrij (AOV) model of colloid–polymer mixtures idealises
nonadsorbing polymers as effective spheres that are fixed in size and impenetrable to hard …

As a generic model for liquid–vapor-type transitions in random porous media, the Asakura–
Oosawa model for colloid–polymer mixtures is studied in a matrix of quenched spheres …

We report a numerical study of equilibrium phase diagrams and interfacial properties of bulk
and confined colloid-polymer mixtures using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations …

We demonstrate via computer simulation that mixtures of colloids and polymers confined to
thin films have the ability to undergo an interface localization transition. While one wall of the …
