Internal Dynamics and Elasticity of Fractal Colloidal Gels
The dynamic structure factor of fractal colloidal gels is shown to exhibit a stretched exponential decay to a finite plateau with an exponent of about 0.7. The value of the plateau depends on both initial particle volume fraction f0 and scattering wave vector. We show that this behavior results from the contribution of internal elastic modes of many length scales, and present a model which acco...
متن کاملFractal nematic colloids
Fractals are remarkable examples of self-similarity where a structure or dynamic pattern is repeated over multiple spatial or time scales. However, little is known about how fractal stimuli such as fractal surfaces interact with their local environment if it exhibits order. Here we show geometry-induced formation of fractal defect states in Koch nematic colloids, exhibiting fractal self-similar...
متن کاملEquilibrium Gels of Limited Valence Colloids
Gels are low-packing arrested states of matter which are able to support stress. On cooling, limited valence colloidal particles form open networks stabilized by the progressive increase of the interparticle bond lifetime. These gels, named equilibrium gels, are the focus of this review article. Differently from other types of colloidal gels, equilibrium gels do not require an underlying phase ...
متن کاملTunable dynamics of microtubule-based active isotropic gels.
We investigate the dynamics of an active gel of bundled microtubules (MTs) that is driven by clusters of kinesin molecular motors. Upon the addition of ATP, the coordinated action of thousands of molecular motors drives the gel to a highly dynamical turbulent-like state that persists for hours and is only limited by the stability of constituent proteins and the availability of the chemical fuel...
متن کاملFractal structure of silica colloids revisited
We present extensive computer simulations of a modified Eden model on a tetragonal lattice. This model is able to reproduce the crossover from mass fractal to surface fractal structures observed experimentally in the clustering process of partially hydrolysed silica particles. One of the most interesting phenomena in random growth is that systems with only shortrange interactions can form aggre...
