Fluids containing nano- to micrometer scale “colloidal” particles are found universally in nature and technology. Coatings, consumer products, filters, cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and numerous ...

Soft materials are those in which the thermal energy is a relevant energy scale. Soft matter has often been epitomized by colloidal particles. These follow statistical mechanics like atoms and ...

Because of the intrinsically small size of particles found in colloids, it is difficult to determine the molecular organisation within them. This is an important aspect when studying relationships ...

The system of particles could be a colloid—particles suspended in a liquid, such as cellular organisms. The number of particles in these boxes—finite observation volumes—can change as ...

If the particles that make up a mixture are very large, they can also block a beam of light from passing through the mixture. Two types of heterogeneous mixtures are suspensions and colloids.

A new technique employing monochromatic light improves the study of internal structures in materials affected by light ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

This homepage contains descriptions of research activities, publications, and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows associated with dispersions of submicron particles (colloids) and patterning of ...
