Sedimentation-diffusion dynamics in colloid-polymer mixtures

We show experimentally how a phase separated colloid-polymer mixture finds its sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium after initial fluid-fluid demixing. During this equilibration process we measure key parameters of the colloidal interface by assuming local mechanical equilibrium and we inspect the be...
