Confinement effects on phase behavior of soft matter systems
When systems that can undergo phase separation between two coexisting phases in the
bulk are confined in thin film geometry between parallel walls, the phase behavior can be …

Polymers at interfaces and the interactions in colloidal dispersions
A Vrij - Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1976 - degruyter.com
Solutions of different polymers in the same solvent are incompatible as a rule and show
phase separation when they are mixed. H incompatibility is also to be observed in systems …

The Asakura–Oosawa theory: Entropic forces in physics, biology, and soft matter
In 1954, Asakura and Oosawa 1 explained that nonadsorbing macromolecules can induce
attractive forces between colloidal particles in a single page paper in this journal. The …

Perspective: The Asakura Oosawa model: A colloid prototype for bulk and interfacial phase behavior
In many colloidal suspensions, the micrometer-sized particles behave like hard spheres, but
when non-adsorbing polymers are added to the solution a depletion attraction (of entropic …
