Condensed matter physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter
at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both …

Solutions of different polymers in the same solvent are incompatible as a rule and show
phase separation when they are mixed. H incompatibility is also to be observed in systems …

Surface functionalization of metal nanoparticles (NPs), eg, using peptides and proteins, has
recently attracted a considerable attention in the field of design of therapeutics and …

Colloidal liquids interacting with short range attraction and long range repulsion, such as
proposed for some protein solutions, have been found to exhibit novel states consisting of …

Recently, reversible cluster formation was identified as an underlying cause of anomalously
large solution viscosities observed in some concentrated monoclonal antibody (mAb) …

Colloidal dispersions with a short-range attraction and long-range repulsion can exhibit an
intriguing intermediate range order, manifested in scattering experiments as a low-q peak in …

The so-called extended law of corresponding states, as proposed by Noro and Frenkel [J.
Chem. Phys. 113, 2941 (2000)], involves a mapping of the phase behaviors of systems with …

One major goal in condensed matter is identifying the physical mechanisms that lead to
arrested states of matter, especially gels and glasses. The complex nature and microscopic …

Hypothesis Particle aggregation is ubiquitous for many colloidal systems, and drives the
phase separation or the formation of materials with a highly heterogeneous large-scale …

Competing interaction fluids have become ideal model systems to study a large number of
phenomena, for example, the formation of intermediate range order structures, condensed …
