Confinement Effects on Phase Behavior of Soft Matter Systems
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 profoundly modified. These phenomena shall be described and exemplified by computer simulations of the Asakura-Oosawa model for colloidpolymer mixtures, but applications to other soft matter systems (e.g. confined polymer b...
متن کاملCharge - stabilized colloidal suspensions . Phase behavior and effects of confinement *
The Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equation is used to investigate effective colloid-interface interactions and the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. When a colloidal particle, immersed in an electrolyte, approaches an interface, which may be neutral (such as air) or charged (like electrodes, glass, etc.), image charge effects plus the deformation of the colloidal ion atmospher...
متن کاملEffect of Steel Confinement on Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frame
The strength and ductility of concrete improve under multi-axial compressive stress due to confinement effect. Some parameters are effective for considering the confinement in concrete and various stress-strain models were developed by different researchers. Longitudinal and transverse reinforcement steels can influence on confinement in reinforced concrete members. In this paper, various stres...
متن کاملEffects of confinement on self - assembling systems
Systems in which particles can self-assemble into mono-or bilayers can form variety of stable and metastable structures on a nanometer length scale. For this reason confinement has a particularly strong effect on such systems. We discuss in some detail effects of confinement on lamellar and cubic phases with double-diamond structure. Structural deformations in slit geometry are described for la...
متن کاملSolvation effects in phase transitions in soft matter.
Phase transitions in polar binary mixtures can be drastically altered by even a small amount of salt. This is because the preferential solvation strongly depends on the ambient composition. Together with a summary of our research on this problem, we present some detailed results on the role of antagonistic salt composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ions. These ions tend to segregate at liquid...
