Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

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 …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Polymeric materials near the liquid-solid transition (LST) exhibit a very distinct relaxation
pattern. The reference point for analyzing these patterns is the instant of LST at which …

Phenomenological hydrodynamic equations are proposed for entangled polymer blends as
generalization of those for polymer solutions. They can describe coupling between …

Supramolecular gels, which demonstrate tunable functionalities, have attracted much
interest in a range of areas, including healthcare, environmental protection and energy …

Conclusions. 1. Under the appropriate experimental conditions a miscible blend of PVC and
PVAc can be prepared from a solution of the polymers in MEK at room temperature. 2. PVC …

Recent advances in the electromagnetics of composite materials are reviewed. In particular,
linear and non-linear optical properties of small-particle aggregates are considered. The …

Viscoelastic measurements on gels near the gel point show power-law frequency and time
dependences. Using a percolation model, we find that viscoelastic properties are described …

We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) and hydrophobic dye-binding data in an effort to
elucidate a molecular mechanism for the ability of gastric mucin to form a gel at low pH …
