Research Soft Materials This research focuses on the properties of common soft materials. We study colloids, emulsions, drops, polymers and gels. Our focus is on understanding the structure of these materials and how this controls their dynamics and properties. We make extensive use of the experimental tools of a soft matter physics lab, including optical...
Read for free until 3 May>> Researchers investigate the thermodynamics and percolation regimes of model binary mixtures of patchy colloidal particles in this Hot Paer. Up to four percolated strucuters at low temperature were found. Modelling such as this is of interest for tailoring the self-assembly of colloids into functional structures. Bicontinuous and mixed gels […]
