Recently, an increasing experimental effort has been devoted to the synthesis of complex
colloidal particles with chemically or physically patterned surfaces and possible specific …

We review the phase behaviour of pure and mixed patchy colloids, as revealed (mostly) by
theory and computer simulation. These experimentally-realisable systems are excellent …

We introduce a microscopic model for particles with dissimilar patches which displays an
unconventional “pinched” phase diagram, similar to the one predicted by Tlusty and Safran …

DNA is acquiring a primary role in material development, self-assembling by design into
complex supramolecular aggregates, the building block of a new-materials world. Using …

We have investigated the self-assembly scenario of patchy colloidal particles in a two-
dimensional system. The energetically most favourable ordered particle arrangements have …

Concentrated solutions of monoclonal antibodies have attracted considerable attention due
to their importance in pharmaceutical formulations; yet, their tendency to aggregate and the …

We study a model consisting of particles with dissimilar bonding sites (“patches”), which
exhibits self-assembly into chains connected by Y-junctions, and investigate its phase …

We numerically calculate the equilibrium phase diagram of one-patch particles with 30%
patch coverage. It has been previously shown that in the fluid phase these particles organize …

Inspired by experimental studies of short-ranged attractive patchy particles, we study with
computer simulations the phase behavior and the crystalline structures of one-patch colloids …

We calculate the network fluid regime and phase diagrams of binary mixtures of patchy
colloids, using Wertheim's first order perturbation theory and a generalization of Flory …
