Sterically-stabilized poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) latexes dispersed in nonpolar
solvents are a classic, well-studied system in colloid science. This is because they can …

Getting control over the valency of colloids is not trivial and has been a long-desired goal for
the colloidal domain. Typically, tuning the preferred number of neighbors for colloidal …

Hypothesis Depletion attraction induced by polymers can be employed across multiple
disciplines. Previous studies implied that besides screening the electrostatic repulsion …

Confinement modifies the properties of a fluid. The particle density is no longer uniform but
depends on the distance from the walls; parallel to the walls, layers with different particle …

Suspensions of hard ellipsoidal particles exhibit complex phase behavior as shown by
theoretical predictions and simulations of phase diagrams. Here, we report quantitative …

Hydrophobic poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) colloidal particles, when dispersed in oil
with a relatively high dielectric constant, can become highly charged. In the presence of an …

We study the phase behavior of a system of charged colloidal particles that are
electrostatically bound to an almost flat interface between two fluids. We show that, despite …

Optical microscopy techniques with three dimensional (3D) resolution are powerful tools for
the real-space imaging of the structure and dynamics of colloidal systems. While real-space …

Colloidal dispersions composed of polymethylmetacrylate particles dispersed in a mixture of
cyclohexyl bromide and decalin find widespread use as model systems in optical …

PMMA-PHSA particles serve as the hard sphere model system since the 1980s. We
investigate the fluid structure of fluorescent ones in three different solvents by laser scanning …
