Colloidal suspensions are simple model systems for the study of phase transitions. Video
microscopy is capable of directly imaging the structure and dynamics of colloidal …

We investigate the effect of dispersion media composition, water-to-isopropanol (IPA) ratio,
on the structure and rheology of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers using short …

When particles are deposited at a fluid interface they tend to aggregate by capillary
attraction to minimize the overall potential energy of the system. In this work, we embed …

Order− disorder transitions in dilute aqueous dispersions of ionic colloids were studied
experimentally in colloidal silica and polymer latex systems. A three-dimensional phase …

In solutions or dispersions, solute distributions are considered to be more or less
homogeneous and space-filling, particularly for concentrated ones. This is not …

In charged colloidal dispersion systems the interest is in finding their stability conditions,
phase transitions, and transport properties, either in bulk or confinement, among other …

The crystallization of colloidal particles at an air-water interface is investigated by computer
simulations. We numerically clarify the bond-orientational order parameter Φ 6 with different …

Among the various soft matter systems, charge stabilized colloidal dispersions have gained
recognition as tremendously useful model condensed matter systems because of their …

Long-range interaction between polymeric surfaces and charged solutes in aqueous
solution were observed microscopically. At low ionic strength, solutes were excluded from …
