Nanocolloidal gels (NCGs) are an emerging class of soft matter, in which nanoparticles act
as building blocks of the colloidal network. Chemical or physical crosslinking enables NCG …

Highlights•Heterogeneity always appears in materials processing.•Microstructure constantly
changes during the whole process.•Same recipe never guarantees same product.• …

Agglomeration and linking of nanoparticles or aggregates lead to the formation of percolated
particle networks and alter the mechanical enhancement in polymer nanocomposites …

A systematic study has been performed to investigate the effect of surface potential of
nanoparticles on the rheological behavior of bimodal suspensions, using a model system …

In this study, the effects of adding silica nanoparticles to PVA/CuNW suspensions were
investigated rheologically, in particular, by small and large amplitude oscillatory shear …

Although many colloidal assembling systems have been reported, most systems suffer from
severe aggregation under high solid concentrations, which can often be observed in typical …

The motion of polystyrene particles in a bimodal suspension drop during drying was
characterized via multispeckle diffusing wave spectroscopy. The fast and slow dynamics of …

We present an experimental study of the structural and dynamical properties of bimodal,
micrometer-sized colloidal dispersions (size ratio≈ 2) in an aqueous solution of low …

Macroscopic models for the uniaxial consolidation of strong colloidal gels typically
characterise the compressive strength of the particulate network in terms of the compressive …

We investigate the influence of inter-particle affinity on the microstructure and rheological
behavior in the bimodal suspension systems. For this purpose, we design the suspensions …
