This news release is available in German. Colloids are nano- or micrometer-sized finely dispersed particles or droplets. Soft colloids are made up of flexible materials, for example, polymers, such as ...

Researchers have developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations between the atomic structure of colloids and their perceptible material ...

An institute devoted solely to tracking down and getting acquainted with the elusive colloid, with a building and endowment costing $1,000,000, is the avowed aim of the American Chemical Society, ...

The electric field generated in the sedimentation or centrifugation of charged colloidal particles could be exploited to determine the charge and the mass of macromolecules in a single experiment. In ...

Decorative nanoscience For more than two decades, researchers knew that colloid attachment theory was imperfect because the theory treated both the colloid and the surface as a bulk substance, with ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

Using neutron scattering, researchers were able to study the structure of their samples. The size of the “rings” in the image can, for example, define the distance between two colloid particles.

Researchers from Jülich have, together with colleagues from Austria, Italy, Colombia and the USA, developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of ...
