We attempt a classification of different colloidal gels based on colloid–colloid interactions.
We discriminate primarily between non-equilibrium and equilibrium routes to gelation, the …

In the last two decades, advances in synthetic, experimental and modeling/simulation
methodologies have considerably enhanced our understanding of colloidal suspension …

The addition of non-adsorbing polymer to a colloidal suspension induces an
interparticle'depletion'attraction whose range and depth can be'tuned'independently by …

It is now generally accepted that macromolecules do not act in isolation but “live” in a
crowded environment, that is, an environment populated by numerous different molecules …

Phase separation can be induced in a colloidal dispersion by adding non-adsorbing
polymers. Depletion of polymer around the colloidal particles induces an effective attraction …

The microscopic polymer reference interaction site model theory of polymer nanocomposites
composed of flexible chains and spherical nanoparticles has been employed to study …

All cells fold their genomes, including bacterial cells, where the chromosome is compacted
into a domain-organized meshwork called the nucleoid. How compaction and domain …

We investigate the competition between spinodal decomposition and dynamical arrest using
aqueous solutions of the globular protein lysozyme as a model system for colloids with short …

Systems of spherical colloidal particles mimic the thermodynamics of atomic crystals. Control
of interparticle interactions in colloids, which has recently begun to be extensively exploited …

The analogies between colloidal glasses and gels have stimulated an increased effort in
recent years to unify the description of the transitions to these disordered solid-like states …
