20. Strictly speaking, introduction of charged groups onto the particle surfaces should change all three Flory-Huggins parameters, χPH, χPL, and χPW. To accurately calculate Flory-Huggins parameters, especially for charged systems, remains a daunting task requiring extensive molecular simulations and is beyond the scope of this study. We assumed here that the introduction of charged groups to functionalize the surface of the otherwise hydrophobic particles would have the strongest impact on the particle interaction with the headgroups; hence, this study maps out the phase diagram as function of χPH while leaving the other two parameters constant. More detailed analysis would be required to map out the phase diagram as function of all three parameters, χPH, χPL, and χpw.
