This book was released on 1995-03-31 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observation, Prediction and Simulation of Phase Transitions in Complex Fluids presents an overview of the phase transitions that occur in a variety of soft-matter systems: colloidal suspensions of spherical or rod-like particles and their mixtures, directed polymers and polymer blends, colloid--polymer mixtures, and liquid-forming mesogens. This modern and fascinating branch of condensed matter physics is presented from three complementary viewpoints. The first section, written by experimentalists, emphasises the observation of basic phenomena (by light scattering, for example). The second section, written by theoreticians, focuses on the necessary theoretical tools (density functional theory, path integrals, free energy expansions). The third section is devoted to the results of modern simulation techniques (Gibbs ensemble, free energy calculations, configurational bias Monte Carlo). The interplay between the disciplines is clearly illustrated. For all those interested in modern research in equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Book excerpt: Molecular simulation is a very powerful technique that allows us to predict thermodynamic and transport properties of bulk and confined phases, as well as phase equilibria and interfacial properties. These properties are often crucial to the design of chemical and related industrial processes. Molecular simulation can predict these properties over a wide range of conditions, in contrast with experiments, which at extreme conditions (e.g., high temperature and/or high pressure) are often very difficult and in some cases dangerous. Further more, semi-empirical and empirical engineering models can frequently only be used for the specific systems to which they are fitted - that is, they are interpolative rather than predictive. Therefore molecular modeling methods, including simulation, can play a very useful role in the design of new processes, as well as the prediction of new phenomena. In this thesis, we applied molecular simulation methods to four separate problems: vapor-liquid equilibrium for a polarizable model of water, liquid-liquid interfacial properties, phase equilibrium in confined systems, and mechanical properties of nano scale systems. The first three problems imply the study of phases in equilibrium under different conditions. The most simple is the vapor-liquid equilibrium of a single component. Thermophysical properties such as coexistence densities, vapor pressure, surface tension, and interfacial thickness were obtained for a polarizable model of water and compared with other simpler potential models and experimental results. Using the same methodology, the interfacial properties of binary and ternary mixtures with polar and non-polar fluids exhibiting liquid-liquid equilibrium were studied. The dependence of the interfacial properties with increasing molecular size of one compound was studied. For ternary mixtures, the presence of a surfactant molecule was studied at different concentrations of the surfactant. Phase equilibria inside single carbon nanotubes were studied for single and binary aqueous systems, the coexistence liquid densities were calculated and compared with results of water in hydrophobic nanopores, and in the bulk. The phase equilibria behavior was studied indirectly in terms of the pressure inside the nanotube. Molecular simulation is a very suitable tool to study mechanical properties of systems at the nanoscale. The interlayer friction forces in double-wall carbonnanotubes were studied for systems with axial length up to 100 nm. The oscillatory behavior resulting when the inner tube is pulled out and released was studied as a function of nanotube length, temperature, and internal conformation. The latter enabled the study of systems with different degree of commensurability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer simulations have been widely used in the the study of complex fluids to provide good consistency of macroscopic properties with experiments and understandings in the microscopic view. In the last 10 years, the rise in computing power with graphical processing units and modern data science techniques such as machine learning promote enormous improvements on molecular simulations for studies of complex phenomena which can be challenging, in particular, the phase behavior of complex mixtures. In this thesis, we propose several methods for obtaining phase coexistence of complex fluid mixtures and study phase behaviors of polymer solutions utilizing molecular simulations and a neural network technique. We develop a simulation method for getting phase coexistence from single cell simulations, which uses a spatial concentration autocorrelation function to spatially align instantaneous concentration profiles from different snapshots. Except in the neighborhood of the critical point, the Interface method shows excellent agreement with the phase diagrams of the Widom-Rowlinson model and the symmetric blends of freely jointed polymer molecules available from conventional methods. To obtain coexistence points even near the critical point, we propose a supervised machine learning framework fed by single cell simulation data to optimize convolutional neural network (CNN) filter size as one of hyperparameters. The CNN predictions with simulation data show good agreement with the phase boundary of references close to the critical point. Also, we found that understanding intermediate structures during a phase transition is important to consider them as training sets. Lastly, we study phase behaviors of poly(ethylene oxide) in imidazolium-based ionic liquids which have the unique low critical solubility temperature phase behavior. We use a hybrid simulation method composed of the Interface method and a neural network model to draw phase diagrams. As a result of prediction of critical points for various systems with substitution of H with CH3 on C2 position and different N-alkyl chain length of cation, our results agree with experimental results. Interestingly, a polymer chain near single C2 methylated cation is likely to form not only wrapping but also crown conformation which implies the entropic-driven phase separation.
