The understanding of the basic physical relationships between nano-scale structural
variables and the macroscale properties of polymer nanocomposites remains in its infancy …

We attempt a classification of different colloidal gels based on colloid–colloid interactions.
We discriminate primarily between non-equilibrium and equilibrium routes to gelation, the …

It is easy to understand the self-assembly of particles with anisotropic shapes or interactions
(for example, cobalt nanoparticles or proteins) into highly extended structures. However …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

Abstract Systems far from equilibrium can exhibit complex transitory structures, even when
equilibrium fluctuations are mundane,. A dramatic example of this phenomenon has recently …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

Past studies have suggested a statistical connection between explosive volcanic eruptions
and subsequent El Niño climate events,. This connection, however, has remained …

Nanoparticles at fluid interfaces are becoming a central topic in colloid science studies.
Unlike in the case of colloids in suspensions, the description of the forces determining the …

We study a model in which particles interact with short-ranged attractive and long-ranged
repulsive interactions, in an attempt to model the equilibrium cluster phase recently …
