Soft, elastic, solvent-rich materials made from networks of aggregated colloidal particles are called particle gels. The networks may be regarded as being permanent or transient depending on whether the short-range attractive forces between the particles arise from strong irreversible bonding or wea

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
A close coupling between the structure and size of hematite flocs formed in suspension and the permeability of the cake that accumulates on ultrafiltration membranes is observed. Specific resistances of cakes formed from flocs generated under diffusion-limited aggregation conditions are at least an
Nonadsorbing polystyrene is used to examine the diffusivity of large molecules within hierarchically structured ceramic particles, containing an interconnected network of macropores permeating an interconnected network of smaller pores. A theory developed to describe solvent diffusion within ordered
