Sedimentation of Strongly and Weakly Charged Colloidal Particles: Prediction of Fractional Density Dependence.
We report on calculations of the reduced sedimentation velocity U/U0 in homogenous suspensions of strongly and weakly charged colloidal spheres as a function of particle volume fraction φ. For dilute suspensions of strongly charged spheres at low salinity, U/U0 is well represented by the parametric form 1 - pφalpha with a fractional exponent alpha = 13 and a parameter p approximately 1....
متن کاملConcentration Dependent Sedimentation of Colloidal Rods
. This theoretical prediction is compared to experimental results. In the second part, experiments on fd-virus are described, both in the isotropic and nematic phase. First order in concentration results for this very long and thin (semi-flexible) rod are in agreement with the above theoretical prediction. Sedimentation profiles for the nematic phase show two sedimentation fronts. This result i...
متن کاملEffects of interparticle attractions on colloidal sedimentation.
We use a mesoscopic simulation technique to study the effect of short-ranged interparticle attractions on the steady-state sedimentation of colloidal suspensions. Attractions increase the average sedimentation velocity v(s) compared to the pure hard-sphere case, and for strong enough attractions, a nonmonotonic dependence on the packing fraction phi with a maximum velocity at intermediate phi i...
متن کاملPhase diagram of binary colloidal rod-sphere mixtures from a 3D real-space analysis of sedimentation-diffusion equilibria.
Self-assembly of binary particle systems offers many new opportunities for materials science. Here, we studied sedimentation equilibria of silica rods and spheres, using quantitative 3D confocal microscopy. We determined not only pressure, density and order parameter profiles, but also the experimental phase diagram exhibiting a stable binary smectic liquid-crystalline phase (Sm2). Using comput...
متن کاملPhase equilibria in stratified thin liquid films stabilized by colloidal particles
– Phase equilibria between regions of different thickness in thin liquid films stabilized by colloidal particles are investigated using a quasi–two-dimensional thermodynamic formalism. Appropriate equilibrium conditions for the film tension, normal pressure, and chemical potential of the particles in the film are formulated, and it is shown that the relaxation of these parameters occurs consecu...
