Abstract
A suspension of deformable particles is modeled as an assembly of cyclic interacting lattice chains. Monte Carlo calculations show that particle deformability and dispersion structure are controlled by the size of the repulsive interaction between nonbonded segments on the particle membrane. The model has features common to both a macromolecular solution and a conventional colloidal dispersion.Keywords
