Abstract

Computer simulations of bi-continuous two-phase fluids with interspersed dumbbells show that, unlike rigid colloids, soft dumbbells do not lead to arrested coarsening. However, they significantly alter the curvature dynamics of the fluid–fluid interface, whose probability density distributions are shown to exhibit (i) a universal spontaneous transition (observed even in the absence of colloids) from an initial broad-shape distribution towards a highly localized one and (ii) super-diffusive dynamics with long-range effects. Both features may prove useful for the design of novel families of soft porous materials.
