Fluctuation forces and wetting layers in colloid-polymer mixtures.
We present confocal microscopy experiments on the wetting of phase-separated colloid-polymer mixtures. We observe that an unusually thick wetting layer of the colloid-rich phase forms at the walls of the glass container that holds the mixture. Because of the ultralow interfacial tension between the...
