Heterogeneous Particles with Isotropic Interactions: Investigating the Effect of Multiple Species and Particle Size Disparity on Self-Assembly
Dion, Shawn (University of Waterloo, 2015-10-21)There is much interest in using self-assembly to build materials at the microscopic level by using soft matter systems such as block copolymers and DNA coated colloids. Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) has seen much ... -
The self-assembly of particles with isotropic interactions: Using DNA coated colloids to create designer nanomaterials
Thompson, R. B.; Dion, Shawn; von Konigslow, K. (AIP publishing, 2014-04-03)Self-consistent field theory equations are presented that are suitable for use as a coarse-grained model for DNA coated colloids, polymer-grafted nanoparticles and other systems with approximately isotropic interactions. ...
