Tunable Colloids with Dipolar and Depletion Interactions: Toward Field-Switchable Crystals and Gels
Colloidal gels are an important class of materials with mesoscale building blocks, and they have wide-ranging applications, from water purification to cement to biotechnology. However, the formation of colloidal gels is beset by inadequate control over phase behavior and slow aging kinetics. In this...
