  This work represents an extension of mesoscale particle-based modeling of
electrophoretic deposition (EPD), which has relied exclusively on pairwise
interparticle interactions described by Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO)
theory. With this standard treatment, particles continuously move and interact
via excluded volume and electrostatic pair potentials under the influence of
external fields throughout the EPD process. The physics imposed by DLVO theory
may not be appropriate to describe all systems, considering the vast material,
operational, and application space available to EPD. As such, we present three
modifications to standard particle-based models, each rooted in the ability to
dynamically change interparticle interactions as simulated deposition
progresses. This approach allows simulations to capture charge transfer and/or
irreversible adsorption based on tunable parameters. We evaluate and compare
simulated deposits formed under new physical assumptions, demonstrating the
range of systems that these adaptive physics models may capture.
