Abstract
Colloid polymer mixtures exhibit vapor-liquid like and liquid-solid like phase transitions in bulk suspensions, and are well-suited model systems to explore confinement effects on these phase transitions. Static aspects of these phenomena are studied by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, including novel “ensemble switch” methods to estimate excess free energies due to confining walls. The kinetics of phase separation is investigated by a Molecular Dynamics method, where hydrodynamic effects due to the solvent are included via the multiparticle collision dynamics method.
