The effect of polymer adsorption on the dispersion stability of particles is an important
subject applicable to various manufacturing processes. In this study, small-angle scattering …

Comprehensive calculations were performed to predict the phase behavior of large
spherical colloids mixed with small spherical colloids that act as a depletant. To this end, the …

Free volume theory (FVT) is a versatile and tractable framework to predict the phase
behaviour of mixtures of platelets and non-adsorbing polymer chains in a common solvent …

Depletion-driven assembly has been widely studied for micrometer-sized colloids, but
questions remain at the nanoscale where the governing physics are impacted by the …

Apart from biocompatibility, poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-based biomedical constructs require
mechanical tunability and optimization of microscale transport for regulation of the release …

Inspired by experimental work on colloidal cuboid-polymer dispersions (Rossi et al., Soft
Matter, 7, 4139 (2011)) we have theoretically studied the phase behaviour of such mixtures …

We systematically investigated the structure and aggregate morphology of gel networks
formed by colloid–polymer mixtures with a moderate colloid volume fraction and different …

If particles interact according to isotropic pair potentials that favor multiple length scales, in
principle, a large variety of different complex structures can be achieved by self-assembly …

Effect of microstructures and interactions on segmental dynamics in polyethylene glycol
(PEG) solution in water is probed with macro-scale oscillatory rheology and micro-scale …

Colloidal dispersions are extremely sensitive to coagulation and fouling. This limits industry
to increase the productivity of polymerization processes. Numerical simulations can provide …
