By reviewing experimental and theoretical works, we discuss the phase diagram of Laponite
suspensions, with the aim of clarifying several issues that have caused a long-time …

A detailed computational study of the potential of mean force between a pair of spherical
particles dissolved in a homopolymer melt has been performed using microscopic liquid …

Synthetic hectorite clay Laponite RD/XLG is composed of disk-shaped nanoparticles that
acquire dissimilar charges when suspended in an aqueous medium. Owing to their property …

Natural Na-Wyoming montmorillonite was size fractionated by successive centrifugation.
Polydisperse particles with average sizes of 400, 290, and 75 nm were then obtained. As the …

We have investigated the thermodynamic and dynamic behavior of multistranded β-
lactoglobulin protein fibrils in water, by combining static, dynamic, and depolarized dynamic …

We present a complete analysis of the structure of polyethylene (PE) nanoparticles
synthesized and stabilized in water under very mild conditions (15° C, 40 atm) by a nickel …

There are two types of isotropic disordered nonergodic states in colloidal suspensions:
colloidal glasses and gels. In a recent paper [H. Tanaka, J. Meunier, and D. Bonn, Phys …

We present a comprehensive investigation of polymer diffusion in the semidilute regime by
fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Using …

We study interfacial phenomena in a colloidal dispersion of sterically stabilized gibbsite
platelets, exhibiting coexisting isotropic and nematic phases separated by a sharp horizontal …

A geometry-based density-functional theory is presented for mixtures of hard spheres, hard
needles, and hard platelets; both the needles and platelets are taken to be of vanishing …
