The Gulliver seminar this week will be on Thursday 20th at 1100 and will be given by Emanuela Zaccarelli, La Sapienza, Roma. Please note the unusual day.
The title of Emanuela’s talk is « Numerical simulations of monomer-resolved microgels up to ultra-dense conditions” and the abstract is below.
This seminar will take place at the Gulliver seminar room C1.62.
Numerical simulations of monomer-resolved microgels up to ultra-dense conditions
I will describe results of extended computer simulations of realistic microgels at different packing fractions, identifying the three main mechanisms by which they respond to crowding: shrinking, deformation and interpenetration. The evolution of structure and dynamics of the suspension will be analyzed and compared to existing effective models such as the Hertzian potential. I will also compare regularly crosslinked microgels with ultra-low-crosslinked ones, showing important differences between the two systems.
