This study reveals that attractive forces in colloidal systems mimic pressure, leading to a fluid-to-solid jamming transition. These findings unify concepts like gelation and aggregation within a broader jamming phase diagram.

Area of Science:

  • * Physics
  • * Materials Science
  • * Colloid Science

Background:

  • * Many systems transition from fluid-like to solid-like states via dynamic arrest.
  • * This jamming phenomenon is driven by particle crowding and kinetic trapping.
  • * Attractive interactions were hypothesized to influence jamming similarly to pressure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To experimentally investigate the fluid-to-solid transition in weakly attractive colloidal particles.
  • * To determine if attractive interactions can be integrated into a generalized jamming phase diagram.
  • * To explore the relationship between gelation, glass transition, and aggregation in colloidal systems.

Main Methods:

  • * Experimental study of colloidal particle systems with weak attractive forces.

  • * Observation of fluid-to-solid transitions induced by changes in concentration, thermalization, and applied stress.
  • * Analysis of gelation behavior and structural changes during the transition.

    • Main Results:

    • * Weakly attractive colloidal particles exhibit gelation behavior analogous to jamming.
    • * Increasing particle concentration and decreasing thermalization or stress promote the fluid-to-solid transition.
    • * The experimental results support the concept of a jamming phase diagram for attractive systems.

    Conclusions:

    • * Attractive interactions in colloidal systems effectively act as a confining pressure, inducing jamming.
    • * A unifying jamming phase diagram can describe transitions in both repulsive and attractive colloidal systems.
    • * This work provides a link between distinct phenomena such as glass transition, gelation, and aggregation.
