Colloidal gelation induced by ring polymers

Colloidal gelation induced by ring polymers

We provide unambiguous experimental evidence that ring polymers are stronger depleting agents in colloidal suspensions than their linear counterparts. We use an intermediate volume fraction (ϕ_{c}=0.44) colloidal gel based on the classic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) hard spheres, in which the po...
