Fluids of clusters in attractive colloids.
We show that colloidal particles with attractive interactions induced by a nonadsorbing polymer exhibit a stable phase consisting of a fluid of clusters of particles. This phase persists even in the absence of any long-range repulsion due to charge, contrary to expectations based on simulation and theory. Cluster morphology depends strongly on the range of the interparticle attraction: With a s...
متن کاملThe fragile-to-strong dynamical crossover and the system viscoelasticity in attractive glass forming colloids
The dynamical arrest phenomena of an adhesive hard-sphere (AHS) colloid, L64-D2O system has been studied by using calorimetry and the complex shear modulus. This system is characterized by a rich temperature (T ) and volume fraction (φ) phase diagram with a percolation line (PT). According to the modecoupling theory (MCT), a cusp-like singularity and two glassy phases, one attractive (AG) and o...
متن کاملDynamical arrest in attractive colloids: the effect of long-range repulsion.
We study gelation in suspensions of model colloidal particles with short-ranged attractive and long-ranged repulsive interactions by means of three-dimensional fluorescence confocal microscopy. At low packing fractions, particles form stable equilibrium clusters. Upon increasing the packing fraction the clusters grow in size and become increasingly anisotropic until finally associating into a f...
متن کاملTunneling conductivity in composites of attractive colloids.
In conductor-insulator nanocomposites in which conducting fillers are dispersed in an insulating matrix, the electrical connectedness is established by inter-particle tunneling or hopping processes. These systems are intrinsically non-percolative and a coherent description of the functional dependence of the conductivity σ on the filler properties, and in particular of the conductor-insulator t...
متن کاملConfirmation of anomalous dynamical arrest in attractive colloids: a molecular dynamics study.
Previous theoretical simulation and experimental studies have indicated that particles with a short-ranged attraction exhibit a range of dynamical arrest phenomena. These include very pronounced reentrance in the dynamical arrest curve, a logarithmic singularity in the density correlation functions, and the existence of "attractive" and "repulsive" glasses. Here we carry out extensive molecular...
