Stiffening attractive suspensions with solid inclusions or granularity effect in loaded colloidal gels
Claudia Ferreiro-Córdova, Giuseppe Foffi, Olivier Pitois +3
The elastic properties of a soft matter material can be greatly altered by the presence of solid inclusions whose microscopic properties, such as their size and interactions, can h…

Spontaneous pattern growth on chocolate surface: simulation and experiments
Jorge Delgado, Claudia Ferreiro-Córdova, Alejandro Gil-Villegas
The natural variation of temperature at ambient conditions produces spontaneous patterns on the surface of chocolate, which result from fat bloom. These patterns are peculiar becau…

Anisotropic viscoelastic phase separation in polydisperse hard rods: non-sticky gelation
Claudia Ferreiro-Córdova, C. Patrick Royall, Jeroen S. van Duijneveldt
Spinodal demixing of systems into two phases having very different viscosities leads to viscoelastic networks, i.e. gels. Here we consider demixing in a colloidal system where one…
