Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Surface Science
  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Attractive colloidal particles undergo fluid-to-solid phase transitions under specific conditions.
  • These transitions are common across various colloid systems and interaction types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the applicability of the jamming state diagram for colloidal systems.
  • To identify regions within the jamming state diagram where fluid-to-solid transitions are poorly understood.
  • To present new data on the gelation of colloidal particles with attractive depletion interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the jamming phase transition framework.
