Nonergodicity transitions in colloidal suspensions with attractive interactions.
Colloidal gel and glass transitions are investigated using the idealized mode coupling theory (MCT) for model systems characterized by short-range attractive interactions. Results are presented for adhesive hard sphere and hard core attractive Yukawa systems. According to MCT, the former system shows a critical glass transition concentration that increases significantly with introduction of a w...
متن کاملGel transitions in colloidal suspensions
The idealized mode-coupling theory (MCT) is applied to colloidal systems interacting via short-range attractive interactions of Yukawa form. At low temperatures, MCT predicts a slowing down of the local dynamics and ergodicity-breaking transitions. The non-ergodicity transitions share many features with the colloidal gel transition, and are proposed to be the source of gelation in colloidal sys...
متن کاملStructural Transitions in Colloidal Suspensions
In suspensions of colloidal particles different types of interactions are in a subtle interplay. In this report we are interested in sub-micro meter sized Al2O3 particles which are suspended in water. Their interactions can be adjusted by tuning the pH-value and the salt concentration. In this manner different microscopic structures can be obtained. Industrial processes for the production of ce...
متن کاملMicrostructure, local dynamics, and flow behavior of colloidal suspensions with weak attractive interactions
We present a comprehensive micro- and macrorheological study of the effect of weak depletion attraction (Ψdep ≈ 1-10 kBT) on dense colloidal suspensions stabilized by short-range repulsive interactions. We used aqueous polymer dispersions as model system and demonstrated the unique capabilities of multiple particle tracking (MPT) to disclose structural changes in such technically important syst...
متن کاملSimulation study of nonergodicity transitions: gelation in colloidal systems with short-range attractions.
Computer simulations were used to study the gel transition occurring in colloidal systems with short-range attractions. A colloid-polymer mixture was modeled and the results were compared with mode coupling theory (MCT) expectations and with the results for other systems (hard-spheres system and Lennard-Jones system). The self-intermediate scattering function and the mean squared displacement w...
