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 …

We review the diverse range of materials made up of rod-shaped colloids. A common
feature of such suspensions is the strong and efficient contribution of rods to the material's …

Memento, homo, qui pulvis est et pulverem reverteris. Genesis 3 Polvos serán, mas polvo
enamorado. Francisco de Quevedo The physics of granular materials in ambient gases is …

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a very popular technique for the measurement of particle
size distributions in colloidal suspensions and emulsions. According instrumentation is …

Shear localization is a generic feature of flows in yield stress fluids and soft glassy materials
but is incompletely understood. In the classical picture of yield stress fluids, shear banding …

Colloidal gels constitute an important class of materials found in many contexts and with a
wide range of applications. Yet as matter far from equilibrium, gels exhibit a variety of time …

We investigate the strain hardening behavior of various gelatin networks namely physical
gelatin gel, chemically cross-linked gelatin gel, and a hybrid gel made of a combination of …

We report an experimental study of the dynamical arrest transition for a model system
consisting of octadecyl coated silica suspended in n-tetradecane from dilute to concentrated …

Rigidity percolation (RP) occurs when mechanical stability emerges in disordered networks
as constraints or components are added. Here we discuss RP with structural correlations, an …

The coalescence of liquid drops induces a higher level of complexity compared to the
classical studies about the aggregation of solid spheres. Yet, it is commonly believed that …
