Much interest has been generated in the fabrication of colloidal crystals from suspensions because of the promise of photonic band gap applications. However, since the case of small, nonsedimenting colloidal particles indeed remains rather rarely treated, ...
We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short-ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures below the critic ...
Colloidal interfacial interactions in a capillary channel under different chemical and flow conditions were studied using confocal microscopy. Fluorescent latex microspheres (1.1 mu m) were employed as model colloids and the effects of ionic strength and f ...
The Derjaguin approximation states that the interaction force between two curved surfaces is proportional to their effective radius, whereby the inverse effective radius is the arithmetic mean of the inverse curvature radii of the surfaces involved. The pr ...
In blends of unsaturated polyester (UP), poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc), and styrene, a reaction-induced phase separation occurs upon curing that is due to the crosslinking between styrene and the UP molecules. The evolution of the morphology was observed by ...
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were coated with either Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or Vinyl alcohol/vinyl amine copolymer and further functionalized with the fluorochromes Cy3.5 or Texas Red. A colloidally stable suspension of nanoparticles ...
We have compared calorimetric measurements with the nonlinear optical technique vibrational sum frequency scattering to investigate interface-solvent effects in colloidal gelation transitions. This allows us to explain the difference in gelation behaviour ...
Colloidal silica gels are shown to stiffen with time, as demonstrated by both dynamic light scattering and bulk rheological measurements. Their elastic moduli increase as a power law with time, independent of particle volume fraction; however, static light ...
We study tagged particle diffusion at large packing fractions, for a model of particles interacting with a generalized Lennard-Jones 2n-n potential, with large n. The resulting short range potential mimics interactions in colloidal systems. In agreement wi ...
The use of gold nanoparticles as biological probes requires the improvement of colloidal stability. Dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), a dithiol obtained by the reduction of thioctic acid, appears therefore very attractive for the stabilization and the further fun ...
