Disorder-to-Order Phase Transitions in Concentrated Colloidal Dispersions

  • Chapter
Structure and Dynamics of Strongly Interacting Colloids and Supramolecular Aggregates in Solution

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 369))

Abstract

The disorder-to-order transitions that occur in concentrated colloidal dispersions of rigid spherical and rod-like particles are reviewed. It is indicated how the wealth of theoretical work and computer simulation results on the phase behaviour of atomic and molecular fluids can be applied to colloidal dispersions. The features that make colloidal dispersions unique (controllable particle-particle interactions, convenient length- and time-scales) are emphasized throughout.
