The glass transition is the most enduring grand-challenge problem in contemporary
condensed matter physics. Here, we review the contribution of colloid experiments to our …

The swelling of thermoresponsive microgels is widely modelled through Flory–Rehner
theory, which combines Flory–Huggins solution thermodynamics with the affine network …

The review concerns modern physicochemical, chemical and physical approaches to
research into structural features that determine the rheological properties of highly …

We present a detailed comparison of the rheology of concentrated hard and soft-sphere
suspensions using a variety of techniques including large-amplitude oscillatory shear …

We explore the glassy dynamics of soft colloids using microgels and charged particles
interacting by steric and screened Coulomb interactions, respectively. In the supercooled …

Mixed salts of Ionic Liquids (ILs) and alkali metal salts, developed as electrolytes for lithium
and sodium batteries, have shown a remarkable ability to facilitate high rate capability for …

Glasses formed from nano-and microparticles form a fascinating testing ground to explore
and understand the origins of vitrification. For atomic and molecular glasses, a wide range of …

We use rheological measurements to examine the yielding behavior of a microgel system
spanning the range from soft jammed glassy suspensions dominated by inter-particle …

The experimental flow curves of four different yield-stress fluids with different interparticle
interactions are studied near the jamming concentration. By appropriate scaling with the …

Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) are the crystals of electrolytes with a long-range
translational order. The rotational modes of ions in OIPCs are, however, activated even in …
