Semiflexible polymers are ubiquitous in biological systems, eg, as building blocks of the
cytoskeleton, and they also play an important role in various materials due to their ability to …

Computer simulations of a simple model of liquid crystals confined between parallel walls
have been used to investigate the properties of nematic wetting films and the planar nematic …

The structure of a fluid of hard Gaussian overlap particles of elongation κ= 5, confined
between two hard walls, has been calculated from density-functional theory and Monte …

The effect of out-of-plane orientational and positional fluctuations is examined in the phase
behavior of hard spherocylinders confined between two parallel walls. The stability of …

Close to a solid surface, the properties of a fluid deviate significantly from their bulk values.
In this context, we study the surface adsorption profiles of a symmetric binary liquid confined …

Monte Carlo simulations for a simple model liquid crystal are presented. The influence of flat
walls on the phase behavior is analyzed for two different anchoring mechanisms, one …

Isothermal–isobaric NPT and Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (GEMC) computer simulations of
N= 1500 and N= 3000 hard cut spheres of aspect ratio L/D= 0.1, respectively, are carried out …

An athermal solution of semiflexible macromolecules with excluded volume interactions has
been studied at various concentrations (dilute, semidilute, and concentrated solutions) in a …

Athermal solutions (from dilute to concentrated) of semiflexible macromolecules confined in
a film of thickness D between two hard walls are studied by means of grand-canonical lattice …

On the basis of a self-consistent field theory treatment of semi-flexible polymer chains, we
analyze the effects of the flexibility on the structure of polymers sterically confined between …
