Query: Effective interactions between star polymers and colloidal particles   Using monomer-resolved Molecular Dynamics simulations and theoretical
arguments based on the radial dependence of the osmotic pressure in the
interior of a star, we systematically investigate the effective interactions
between hard, colloidal particles and star polymers in a good solvent. The
relevant parameters are the size ratio q between the stars and the colloids, as
well as the number of polymeric arms f (functionality) attached to the common
center of the star. By covering a wide range of q's ranging from zero (star
against a flat wall) up to about 0.75, we establish analytical forms for the
star-colloid interaction which are in excellent agreement with simulation
results. A modified expression for the star-star interaction for low
functionalities, f < 10 is also introduced.
