| Abstract | In Utrecht we study 'fine' particles in the colloidal size range in connection with (concentrated) dispersions of such particles in a liquid carrier. Originally the particles were spherical in shape (e.g. silica spheres) but more recently also elongated particles (e.g. boehmite rods) are synthesized and studied. It is very important that the particles are non-clustered during the synthesis and thereafter. The particles are coated with a surface layer of chain molecules or silane coupling agents to make them soluble and stable against coagulation in organic solvents. In that case the particles/solvent system behaves as a 'Complex Fluid' in which the particles show 'hard' or 'soft' repulsion forces as revealed by light or (small-angle) neutron scattering and other techniques like sedimentation, diffusion, rheology and colloidal filtration. |
