Charge - stabilized colloidal suspensions . Phase behavior and effects of confinement *
The Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equation is used to investigate effective colloid-interface interactions and the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. When a colloidal particle, immersed in an electrolyte, approaches an interface, which may be neutral (such as air) or charged (like electrodes, glass, etc.), image charge effects plus the deformation of the colloidal ion atmospher...
متن کاملReentrant phase transition in charged colloidal suspensions.
We report the observation of a novel phase transition in dilute aqueous suspensions of polystyrene particles as a function of ionic impurity concentration C. The suspension phase separates into dense and rare phases only for a restricted range of C which depends on particle concentration n. The dense phase has liquidlike or crystalline order depending on n and C. Free energies of the homogeneou...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملDynamical clustering and phase separation in suspensions of self-propelled colloidal particles.
We study experimentally and numerically a (quasi-)two-dimensional colloidal suspension of self-propelled spherical particles. The particles are carbon-coated Janus particles, which are propelled due to diffusiophoresis in a near-critical water-lutidine mixture. At low densities, we find that the driving stabilizes small clusters. At higher densities, the suspension undergoes a phase separation ...
متن کاملActive and Passive Particle Transport in Dense Colloidal Suspensions
Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank Prof. Matthias Fuchs for giving me the opportunity to work on the very interesting subject of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition and especially to contribute to the exciting new developments in this field. I also acknowledge the opportunity to participate in different teaching and seminar activities, which helped me to learn unconventio...
