Colloidal microcontainers, such as hollow capsules and colloidosomes, have a range of applications, including drug delivery, energy storage, artificial protocells. In this study, we present versatile scalable self-assembly approach for encapsulating cargo particles within well-defined porous membranes or cages. The encapsulation process involves camouflaging liquid matrix that serves scaffold s...

using of colloids and polymeric microparticles are gradually increasing. it is observed that thepositive effects of particles stems in both traditional applications such as column pickings,coatings and paints to more recent technologies in diagnostics, drug delivery and optical devicesare well documented. this review focuses on importance of colloids and covers theirapplications on three level:...

BACKGROUND Synthetic colloids cause dilutional coagulopathy. The aims of our study were to determine whether the natural colloid albumin induces a lesser degree of coagulopathy compared to synthetic colloids, and the comparative effectiveness of fibrinogen concentrate to reverse coagulopathy following dilution with these solutions. METHODS Coagulation was assessed with rotational thrombelasto...

Typical colloid-polymer composites have particle diameters much larger than the polymer mesh size, but successful integration of smaller colloids into a large-mesh network could allow for the realization of new colloidal states of spatial organization and faster colloid motion which can allow the possibility of switchable re-configuration of colloids or more dramatic stimuli-responsive property...

This paper argues that an exploration of colloids can help us situate human social life within a wider understanding the sociality and animacy matter. Colloids are substances such as sols, foams, powders, gels, doughs pastes exhibit complex shifting macroscale physical properties do not conform to standard conceptions solids, liquids or gases. behave in creative ways because their topological e...

Self-propelled colloids have emerged as a new class of active matter over the past decade. These are micrometer sized colloidal objects that transduce free energy from their surroundings and convert it to directed motion. The self-propelled colloids are in many ways, the synthetic analogues of biological self-propelled units such as algae or bacteria. Although they are propelled by very differe...
