The analogies between colloidal glasses and gels have stimulated an increased effort in
recent years to unify the description of the transitions to these disordered solid-like states …

We discuss structural correlations in mixtures of free polymer and colloidal particles on the
basis of a microscopic, two-component liquid-state integral equation theory. Whereas in the …

The Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory is employed to investigate
structure, effective forces, and thermodynamics in dense polymer-particle mixtures in the …

Hydrogels are increasingly used as a cell encapsulation and transplantation device. The
successful use of a hydrogel greatly relies on an ability to control hydrogel stiffness which …

We review the free-volume theory (FVT) of Lekkerkerker et al.[Europhys. Lett. 20 (1992) 559]
for the phase behavior of colloids in the presence of non-adsorbing polymer and we extend …

We study the mechanism of depletion stabilization and the resultant microstructure of
aqueous suspensions of nanosized silica and poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA). Rheology, small …

We review some recent research developments in coarse-grained modeling based on mean-
field approaches of the equilibrium dispersion and structure of polymer nanoparticle …

Particulate gels are of enormous technological significance, and have flow properties that
can be tuned by changing suspension volume fraction or the strength of interparticle …

This review presents an overview on the research on pH-responsive microgel particles in
the last 10 years. Microgels are cross-linked latex particles that are swollen in a good …

The Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory describes the equilibrium
spatial correlations of liquid-like polymer systems including melts, blends, solutions, block …
