Influence of polymer-excluded volume on the phase-behavior of colloid-polymer mixtures.
We determine the depletion-induced phase-behavior of hard-sphere colloids and interacting polymers by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations using very accurate coarse-graining techniques. A comparison with standard Asakura-Oosawa model theories and simulations shows that including excluded-volume inte...

| description | We determine the depletion-induced phase-behavior of hard-sphere colloids and interacting polymers by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations using very accurate coarse-graining techniques. A comparison with standard Asakura-Oosawa model theories and simulations shows that including excluded-volume interactions between polymers leads to qualitative differences in the phase diagrams. These effects become increasingly important for larger relative polymer size. Our simulation results agree quantitatively with recent experiments. |
