Direct Imaging of Contacts and Forces in Colloidal Gels
Jun Dong, Francesco Turci, Robert L. Jack +2
Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand basic properties of materials, and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to agrichemical…
Protein-Polymer Mixtures in the Colloid Limit: Aggregation, Sedimentation and Crystallization
Rui Cheng, Jingwen Li, Ioatzin Ríos de Anda +5
While proteins have been treated as particles with a spherically symmetric interaction, of course in reality the situation is rather more complex. A simple step towards higher comp…
Real Space Analysis of Colloidal Gels: Triumphs, Challenges and Future Directions
C. Patrick Royall, Malcolm A. Faers, Sian L. Fussell +1
Colloidal gels constitute an important class of materials found in many contexts and with a wide range of applications. Yet as matter far from equilibrium, gels exhibit a variety o…
Composition inversion in mixtures of binary colloids and polymer
Isla Zhang, Rattachai Pinchaipat, Nigel B. Wilding +4
Understanding the phase behaviour of mixtures continues to pose challenges, even for systems that might be considered "simple". Here we consider a very simple mixture of two colloi…
Gels under stress: the origins of delayed collapse
Lisa J. Teece, James M. Hart, Kerry Yen Ni Hsu +3
Attractive colloidal particles can form a disordered elastic solid or gel when quenched into a two-phase region, if the volume fraction is sufficiently large. When the interactions…
Phase separation dynamics in colloid-polymer mixtures: the effect of interaction range
Isla Zhang, C. Patrick Royall, Paul Bartlett +1
Colloid-polymer mixtures may undergo either fluid-fluid phase separation or gelation. This depends on the depth of the quench (polymer concentration) and polymer-colloid size ratio…
Sudden collapse of a colloidal gel
Paul Bartlett, Lisa J. Teece, Malcolm A. Faers
Metastable gels formed by weakly attractive colloidal particles display a distinctive two-stage time-dependent settling behavior under their own weight. Initially a space-spanning…
