Nucleation and growth of micellar polycrystals under time-dependent volume fraction conditions
A. Louhichi, E. Tamborini, N. Ghofraniha +5
We study the freezing kinetics of colloidal polycrystals made of micelles of Pluronic F108, a thermosensitive copolymer, to which a small amount of silica nanoparticles of size com…
Multiangle static and dynamic light scattering in the intermediate scattering angle range
Elisa Tamborini, Luca Cipelletti
We describe a light scattering apparatus based on a novel optical scheme covering the scattering angle range $0.5\dg \le θ\le 25\dg$, an intermediate regime at the frontier between…
Structure of nanoparticles embedded in micellar polycrystals
Elisa Tamborini, Neda Ghofraniha, Julian Oberdisse +2
We investigate by scattering techniques the structure of water-based soft composite materials comprising a crystal made of Pluronic block-copolymer micelles arranged in a face-cent…
Grain refinement and partitioning of impurities in the grain boundaries of a colloidal polycrystal
Neda Ghofraniha, Elisa Tamborini, Julian Oberdisse +2
We study the crystallization of a colloidal model system in presence of secondary nanoparticles acting as impurities. Using confocal microscopy, we show that the nanoparticles segr…
