We have studied the relaxation of the concentration fluctuations of gelling disk-like clay particles (Laponite) in water containing 5 mM NaCl. At a Laponite concentration of 10 g/l a gel is formed that does not flow when tilted. The comparison of dynamic light scattering and dynamic mechanical measu

Orthokinetic aggregation of colloids trapped at the air-liquid interface was studied by direct imaging in a couette cell. This method allowed us to follow the temporal evolution of both the cluster-mass distribution and the cluster structure at a shear rate where Brownian aggregation is suppressed.
The study of phase transitions in model spherical colloids within a 'colloids as (super)atoms' paradigm continues to proceed apace. While interest in quasi-monodisperse systems remains on a high level, much recent attention has also focused on phase transitions in binary mixtures (colloid-polymer an
## Abstract **Summary:** We describe the results of Monte Carlo simulations, based on the cooperative motion algorithm, of the lamellar structure generated at finite temperature by a symmetric diblock copolymer. The (70βΓβ70βΓβ70) simulation box in which the polymer chains were embedded for each si
