Toward design rules of directional Janus colloidal assembly

J Zhang, E Luijten, S Granick - Annual review of physical …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Burgeoning interest in supracolloidal assembly has reached the point at which the field can
seek so-called intelligent design rather than solely rely on evolution. Emphasizing Janus …

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 …

Structure and rheology of colloidal particle gels: Insight from computer simulation

E Dickinson - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2013 - Elsevier
A particle gel is a network of aggregated colloidal particles with soft solid-like mechanical
properties. Its structural and rheological properties, and the kinetics of its formation, are …

Colloidal gels tuned by oscillatory shear

E Moghimi, AR Jacob, N Koumakis, G Petekidis - Soft Matter, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
We examine the microstructural and mechanical changes which occur during oscillatory
shear flow and reformation after flow cessation of an intermediate volume fraction colloidal …

[HTML][HTML] Evaluation of the influence of aggregation morphology on thermal conductivity of nanofluid by a new MPCD-MD hybrid method

J Du, Q Su, L Li, R Wang, Z Zhu - International Communications in Heat and …, 2021 - Elsevier
It is known the thermal conductivity can be elevated considerably by adding nanoparticles in
base fluid. But the mechanisms remain unclear so far. One of the most important …

The hydrodynamics of colloidal gelation

Z Varga, G Wang, J Swan - Soft Matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Colloidal gels are formed during arrested phase separation. Sub-micron, mutually attractive
particles aggregate to form a system spanning network with high interfacial area, far from …

Probing colloidal gels at multiple length scales: The role of hydrodynamics

CP Royall, J Eggers, A Furukawa, H Tanaka - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Colloidal gels are out-of-equilibrium structures, made up of a rarefied network of colloidal
particles. Comparing experiments to numerical simulations, with hydrodynamic interactions …

Hydrodynamic interactions enhance gelation in dispersions of colloids with short-ranged attraction and long-ranged repulsion

Z Varga, J Swan - Soft matter, 2016 - pubs.rsc.org
We show that discrete element simulations of colloidal gelation must account for
hydrodynamic interactions between suspended particles through investigation of gelation in …

Hydrodynamics strongly affect the dynamics of colloidal gelation but not gel structure

J De Graaf, WCK Poon, MJ Haughey, M Hermes - Soft Matter, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
Colloidal particles with strong, short-ranged attractions can form a gel. We simulate this
process without and with hydrodynamic interactions (HI), using the lattice-Boltzmann method …

Numerical prediction of colloidal phase separation by direct computation of Navier–Stokes equation

M Tateno, H Tanaka - npj Computational Materials, 2019 - nature.com
Numerical prediction of out-of-equilibrium processes in soft and bio matter containing liquids
is highly desirable. However, it is quite challenging primarily because the motions of the …
