在多个长度尺度上探测胶体凝胶:流体力学的作用

Probing colloidal gels at multiple lengthscales: the role of hydrodynamics

C. Patrick Royall, Jens Eggers, Akira Furukawa, Hajime Tanaka

摘要:

胶体凝胶是由胶体颗粒的稀薄网络组成的非平衡结构。将实验与数值模拟进行比较,关闭流体动力学相互作用,我们证明了溶剂对凝胶化的关键作用。流体动力学相互作用抑制了封闭几何形状的较大局部平衡结构的形成,并且相反导致形成高度各向异性的线,这促进了开放的凝胶网络。我们证实了这些结果与模拟,其中包括流体力学。基于三点相关性,我们提出了一个尺度分辨的定量测量的凝胶结构的各向异性。我们发现一个强烈的差异颗粒间距离的两倍以下的颗粒直径的系统与流体力学,从结构的角度来看,量化流体力学的作用。

英文摘要:

Colloidal gels are out-of-equilibrium structures, made up of a rarefied network of colloidal particles. Comparing experiments to numerical simulations, with hydrodynamic interactions switched off, we demonstrate the crucial role of the solvent for gelation. Hydrodynamic interactions suppress the formation of larger local equilibrium structures of closed geometry, and instead lead to the formation of highly anisotropic threads, which promote an open gel network. We confirm these results with simulations which include hydrodynamics. Based on three-point correlations, we propose a scale-resolved quantitative measure for the anisotropy of the gel structure. We find a strong discrepancy for interparticle distances just under twice the particle diameter between systems with and without hydrodynamics, quantifying the role of hydrodynamics from a structural point of view.
