Percolation and phase behavior in cellulose nanocrystal suspensions from nonlinear rheological analysis

Tiffany Abitbol

We examine the influence of surface charge on the percolation, gel-point and phase behavior of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions in relation to their nonlinear rheological material response. Desulfation decreases CNC surface charge density which lead ...

Active microrheology in corrugated channels: Comparison of thermal and colloidal baths

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Hypothesis: The dynamics of colloidal suspension confined within porous materials strongly differs from that in the bulk. In particular, within porous materials, the presence of boundaries with complex shapes entangles the longitudinal and transverse degre ...

On the stability and necessary electrophoretic mobility of bare oil nanodroplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar, Sergey Kulik

Hydrophobic oil droplets, particles, and air bubbles can be dispersed in water as kinetically stabilized dispersions. It has been established since the 19th century that such objects harbor a negative electrostatic potential roughly twice larger than the t ...

Colloid transport and distribution in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry

Colloids moving from the stream into the hyporheic zone may have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems as they are potential contaminants or carriers of contaminants. Moreover, retained colloids in the hyporheic zone could not only reduce the exchange fl ...

Electrochemical Co-Deposition of Gold and Carbon Nanocapsules from a Colloidal Suspension

Stefano Mischler

This paper shows the preparation of a gold suspension containing carbon nanocapsules and their co-deposition from the colloidal galvanic bath on a nickel electrode to obtain gold/nanocapsules composite coatings. The incorporation of the nanocapsules was co ...
