Foods make up some of the most complex examples of soft condensed matter (SCM) with
which we interact daily. Their complexity arises from several factors: the intricacy of …

Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) contents higher than 3wt% in refractory castables can
have some drawbacks in the various processing steps (mainly drying) and also in their …

This book presents a comprehensive overview of microrheology, emphasizing the
underlying theory, practical aspects of its implementation, and current applications to …

Oil structuring has attracted immense interest in the last decades because it can transform
liquid oils into elastic semi-solids, which has been widely used in material science …

The behavior of an oil-in-water emulsion was studied in the presence of protein fibrils for a
wide range of fibril concentrations by using rheology, diffusing wave spectroscopy, and …

The diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) method made it possible to identify changes in the
dynamics of the free movement of particles in the grease under the influence of temperature …

We report x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and rheometry experiments to
study the temporal evolution of gel formation and aging in suspensions of silica nanocolloids …

To gain insight into the kinetics of colloidal gel evolution at low particle volume fractions ϕ,
we utilize differential dynamic microscopy to investigate particle aggregation, geometric …

Transmission diffusing wave spectroscopy has been used to study and compare three milk
gelling systems (acid gelation of heated and unheated milks and rennet coagulation of …

Preventing creaming or sedimentation by the addition of thickeners is an important industrial
challenge. We study the effect of the addition of a “free” nonadsorbing polymer (xanthan …
