Colloidal Particles: Crystals, Glasses, and Gels
Colloidal particles aremicroscopic solid particles suspended in a fluid. Colloids are small enough that thermal energy drives their dynamics and ensures equilibrationwith the suspending fluid; they are also large enough that their positions andmotions can bemeasured precisely using optical methods, such as light scattering and laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Colloidal suspensio...
متن کاملMicrodynamics and arrest of coarsening during spinodal decomposition in thermoreversible colloidal gels.
Coarsening and kinetic arrest of colloidal systems undergoing spinodal decomposition (SD) is a conserved motif for forming hierarchical, bicontinuous structures. Although the thermodynamic origins of SD in colloids are widely known, the microstructural processes responsible for its coarsening and associated dynamics en route to arrest remain elusive. To better elucidate the underlying large-sca...
متن کاملStructure of colloidal gels during microchannel flow.
We investigate the structure and flow behavior of colloidal gels in microchannels using confocal microscopy. Silica particles are first coated with a cationic polyelectrolyte and then flocculated by the addition of an anionic polyelectrolyte. In the quiescent state, the suspension is an isotropic and homogeneous gel. Under shear flow, the suspension contains dense clusters that yield at intercl...
متن کاملStructure and rheology of gelatin and collagen gels.
This paper undertakes a parallel analysis of the gelation mechanisms, structure and rheological properties of gelatin and collagen gels. Although the molecular compositions of collagen and gelatin are almost identical, gelation proceeds from distinct mechanisms and leads to different types of molecular assemblies. First are presented the properties of the solutions, based on their structural an...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Evaluation of Tramadol in Thermoreversible Gels
We evaluated pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) induced by new formulations of tramadol (TR) in thermoreversible gels. The poloxamer- (PL-) tramadol systems were prepared by direct dispersion of the drug in solutions with PL 407 and PL 188. The evaluated formulations were as follows: F1: TR 2% in aqueous solution and F2: PL 407 (20%) + PL 188 (10%) + TR 2%; F3: PL 407 (25%) + PL 18...
