Time-dependent strength of colloidal gels
Physical review letters, 2005•APS
Colloidal silica gels are shown to stiffen with time, as demonstrated by both dynamic light
scattering and bulk rheological measurements. Their elastic moduli increase as a power law
with time, independent of particle volume fraction; however, static light scattering indicates
that there are no large-scale structural changes. We propose that increases in local elasticity
arising from bonding between neighboring colloidal particles can account for the
strengthening of the network, while preserving network structure.
