  • Title: From gas-liquid to liquid crystalline phase behavior via anisotropic attraction: a computer simulation study.
    Author: Ouyang WZ, Hentschke R.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2007 Oct 28; 127(16):164501. PubMed ID: 17979354.
    Abstract:
    The partial phase behavior of a continuum molecular model for self-assembling semiflexible equilibrium polymers is studied via Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulation. We investigate the transfer from ordinary gas-liquid coexistence to the appearance of liquid crystallinity driven by excluded volume interaction between rodlike aggregates. The transfer between the two types of phase behavior is governed by a tunable anisotropic attractive interaction between monomer particles. The relation to dipolar fluid models, which are also known to form reversible chains, is discussed.
