Phase separation in star-polymer-colloid mixtures.
We examine the demixing transition in star-polymer-colloid mixtures for star arm numbers f=2,6,16,32 and different star-polymer-colloid size ratios 0.18< or =q< or =0.50. Theoretically, we solve the thermodynamically self-consistent Rogers-Young integral equations for binary mixtures using three effective pair potentials obtained from direct molecular computer simulations. The numerical results...
متن کاملDepletion-induced phase separation in colloid-polymer mixtures.
Phase separation can be induced in a colloidal dispersion by adding non-adsorbing polymers. Depletion of polymer around the colloidal particles induces an effective attraction, leading to demixing at sufficient polymer concentration. This communication reviews theoretical and experimental work carried out on the polymer-mediated attraction between spherical colloids and the resulting phase sepa...
متن کاملPhase-Destabilization Mechanism of Polymer-Modified Bitumens in Quiescent Annealing
Bitumen as a binder in coating and insulating materials is modified with polymers to improve its performance in service conditions. Almost all polymers are incompatible with bitumen, and at high temperatures due to relatively very low viscosity of the bitumen phase, are separated from it. These lead to a considerable limitation in the use and handling of polymer-modified bitumens. An understand...
متن کاملThe role of polymer polydispersity in phase separation and gelation in colloid-polymer mixtures.
Mixtures of nonadsorbing polymer and colloidal particles exhibit a range of different morphologies depending on the particle and polymer concentrations and their relative size ratios. These can be very important for technological applications, where gelation can produce a weak solidlike structure that can help reduce phase separation, extending product shelf life. However, industrial products a...
متن کاملPhase behavior and structure of star-polymer–colloid mixtures
We calculate the phase diagrams of mixtures between hard-sphere colloids and star-polymers of arm numbers f 52,6,32 for different star-polymer–colloid size ratios 0.2<q<0.6 using an effective one-component description for the colloids in the presence of the stars. We map the full two-component system onto an effective one-component system by inverting numerically the Ornstein–Zernike equation f...
