By reviewing experimental and theoretical works, we discuss the phase diagram of Laponite
suspensions, with the aim of clarifying several issues that have caused a long-time …

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

We construct the complete liquid crystal phase diagram of hard plate-like cylinders for
variable aspect ratio using Onsager's second virial theory and employing the Parsons–Lee …

We study dilute aqueous solutions of charged disklike mineral particles (laponite) by a
combination of static light scattering (SLS) and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) …

We present microrheological measurements of the drag force on colloids pulled through a
solution of λ-DNA (used here as a monodisperse model polymer) with an optical tweezer …

We calibrate coarse-grained interaction potentials suitable for screening large data sets in
top-down fashion. Three new algorithms are introduced:(i) automated decomposition of …

We report the first measurement of the hindrance function for sedimentation or creaming of
disk-shaped colloids via the analytical centrifugation. Disks align with the external flow right …

Various properties of fluids consisting of platelike particles differ from the corresponding
ones of fluids consisting of spherical particles because interactions between platelets …

We investigate thermodynamic and structural properties of colloidal dumbbells in the
framework provided by the Reference Interaction Site Model (RISM) theory of molecular …

We present a systematic study of flexible cylindrical brush-shaped macromolecules in a
good solvent by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), static light scattering (SLS), and by …
