The microstructural link to the rheology of carbon black suspensions has recently become
clear as a result of advances in computational and experimental methods. This …

Recent progress in synchrotron based X-ray scattering methods applied to colloid science is
reviewed. An important figure of merit of these techniques is that they enable in situ …

Colloidal gels are widely applied in industry due to their rheological character—no flow
takes place below the yield stress. Such property enables gels to maintain uniform …

Typically, in quiescent conditions, attractive colloids at low volume fractions form fractal gels
structured into two length scales: the colloidal and the fractal cluster scales. However, when …

Shear history plays an important role in determining the linear and nonlinear rheological
response of colloidal gels and can be used for tuning their structure and flow properties …

Clay minerals are abundant natural materials used widely in coatings, construction
materials, ceramics, as well as being a component of drilling fluids. Here, we present the …

Boehmite, an aluminum oxide hydroxide γ-AlO (OH), is broadly used in the form of
particulate dispersions in industrial applications, eg, for the fabrication of ceramics and …

Carbon black slurry electrodes are an effective means to improve flow battery performance
by increasing the active surface area necessary for electrochemical reactions with a cost …

We report the ensemble-averaged and pairing-specific network microstructure formed by
short-range depletion attractions in hard sphere-like colloidal systems. Gelation is induced …

Gels composed of multicomponent building blocks offer promising opportunities for the
development of novel soft materials with unique and useful structures. While interpenetrating …
