Polyelectrolyte-colloid coacervation could be viewed as a sub-category of complex
coacervation, but is unique in (1) retaining the structure and properties of the colloid, and (2) …

Colloidal dispersions are commonly encountered in everyday life and represent an
important class of complex fluid. Of particular significance for many commercial products and …

Active colloids exhibit persistent motion, which can lead to motility-induced phase
separation (MIPS). However, there currently exists no microscopic theory to account for this …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

Colloidal liquids interacting with short range attraction and long range repulsion, such as
proposed for some protein solutions, have been found to exhibit novel states consisting of …

We report an extensive numerical study of a charged colloidal system with competing short-
range depletion attraction and long-range electrostatic repulsion. By analyzing the cluster …

Colloidal systems with both a short-range attraction and long-range repulsion (SALR) have
rich phases compared with the traditional hard sphere systems or sticky hard sphere …

In this review, we discuss recent advances in the investigation of colloidal systems
interacting via a combination of short-range attraction and long-range repulsion. The …

We show that amphiphilic and colloidal systems with competing interactions can be
described by the same Landau–Brazovskii functional. The functional is obtained by a …

We investigate the development of gels under out-of-equilibrium conditions, such as calcium–
silicate–hydrate (C–S–H) gels that form during cement hydration and are the major factor …
