Colloidal interactions in nematic liquid crystals can be described as interactions between elastic multipoles that depend on particle shape, topology, chirality, boundary conditions and induced ...
Colloidal suspensions of microscopic particles show complex and interesting collective behaviors. In particular, the collective dynamics of colloids is fundamental and ubiquitous for materials ...
Because of their nano to micro dimensions, colloids crystallize more slowly than molecular, surfactant, or polymeric systems 1. Electrokinetic 2,3,4,5,6,7, magnetic 8, and photo-induced 9 methods have ...
