Mechanical Properties of Colloidal Gels Subject to Particle Rearrangement
In a colloidal suspension with attractive interaction, particles form aggregates that settle to the bottom of the container. As the concentration of particles is increased, the overlapping of the aggregates (flocs) produces a continuous network throughout the suspension before settling occurs and a colloidal gel is formed. Colloidal gels may be divided into hard gels and soft gels. 1 Hard gels ...
متن کاملInternal 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 کاملColloidal dynamics near a particle-covered surface.
How the diffusive dynamics of colloidal spheres changes in the vicinity of a particle-coated surface is of importance for industrial challenges such as fouling and sedimentation as well as for fundamental studies into confinement effects. We addressed this question by studying colloidal dynamics in a partially coated surface layer, using video microscopy. Particle mean squared displacement (MSD...
متن کاملLinking Particle Dynamics to Intracellular Micromechanics in Living Cells
Colloidal particles embedded in the cytoplasm of living mammalian cells have been found to display remarkable heterogeneity in their amplitude of motion. However, consensus on the significance and origin of this phenomenon is still lacking. We conducted experiments on Hmec-1 cells loaded with about 100 particles, to reveal the intracellular particle dynamics as a function of both location and t...
متن کاملOptically transparent dense colloidal gels
Traditionally it has been difficult to study the porous structure of dense colloidal gels and (macro) molecular transport through them simply because of the difference in refractive index between the colloid material and the continuous fluid phase surrounding it, rendering the samples opaque even at low colloidal volume fractions. Here, we demonstrate a novel colloidal gel that can be refractiv...
