✦ Synopsis


The low-frequency electrical conductivity of dielectric colloids (polystyrene and silica) and metallic (silver) ones in aqueous solutions shows a power-law behavior in time during the salt-induced cluster-cluster aggregation. We interpret this fact using current theories of heterogeneous dielectric systems. The fractal nature of the clusters, checked by light scattering, determines the exponent of the power law.

The kinetics of slow irreversible aggregation of monodisperse polystyrene latex spheres is investigated by means of the transient electric birefringence (TEB) technique. The amplitude of the TEB signal is connected with the anisotropy of fractal clusters; the decay of the signal after the electric f

Scaling approximations for the time after which macroscopic aggregation becomes visible are derived for various colloidal systems.

A general expression for the electrical conductivity of a concentrated suspension of spherical colloidal particles is obtained for the case where the particle zeta potential is low and the overlapping of the electrical double layers of adjacent particles is negligible by using Kuwabara's cell model.

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.
