Influence of particle composition and thermal cycling on bijel formation (2008)
White, K. A., Schofield, A. B., Binks, B. P., Clegg, P. S.
Colloidal particles with appropriate wetting properties can become very strongly trapped at an interface between two immiscible fluids. We have harnessed this phenomenon to create a new class of soft...
Rheology, Structure and Dynamics of Colloid-Polymer Mixtures: from Liquids to Gels (2008)
Laurati, M., Petekidis, G., Koumakis, N., Cardinaux, F., Schofield, A. B., Brader, J. M., ...
We investigated the viscoelastic properties of colloid-polymer mixtures at intermediate colloid volume fraction and varying polymer concentrations, thereby tuning the attractive interactions. Within...
Effects of Shear-Induced Crystallization on the Rheology and Ageing of Hard Sphere Glasses (2008)
Koumakis, N., Schofield, A. B., Petekidis, G.
The rheological properties of highly concentrated suspensions of hard-sphere particles are studied with particular reference to the rheological response of shear induced crystals. Using practically...
Bicontinuous emulsions stabilized solely by colloidal particles (2007)
Herzig, E. M., White, K. A., Schofield, A. B., Poon, W. C. K., Clegg, P. S.
Recent large-scale computer simulations suggest that it may be possible to create a new class of soft solids, called `bijels', by stabilizing and arresting the bicontinuous interface in a binary...
Three-dimensional imaging of colloidal glasses under steady shear (2006)
Besseling, R., Weeks, Eric R., Schofield, A. B., Poon, W. C. K.
Using fast confocal microscopy we image the three-dimensional dynamics of particles in a yielded hard-sphere colloidal glass under steady shear. The structural relaxation, observed in regions with...
Fluid-bicontinuous emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles (2006)
Clegg, P. S., Herzig, E. M., Schofield, A. B., Egelhaaf, S. U., Horozov, T. S., Binks, B. P., ...
Using controlled spinodal decomposition, we have created a fluid-bicontinuous structure stabilized by colloidal particles. We present confocal microscopy studies of these structures and their...
Colloid-stabilized emulsions: behaviour as the interfacial tension is reduced (2005)
Clegg, P. S., Herzig, E. M., Schofield, A. B., Horozov, T. S., Binks, B. P., Cates, M. E., ...
We present confocal microscopy studies of novel particle-stabilized emulsions. The novelty arises because the immiscible fluids have an accessible upper critical solution temperature. The emulsions...
Phonons in suspensions of hard sphere colloids: Volume fraction dependence (2004)
Kriegs,H., Petekidis,G., Fytas,G., Penciu,R. S., Economou,E. N., Schofield,A. B.
Phonons in suspensions of hard sphere colloids: Volume fraction dependence (2004)
Kriegs, H., Petekidis, G., Fytas, G., Penciu, R. S., Economou, E. N., Schofield, A. B.
Multiple Glassy State in a Simple Model System (2002)
Pham, K. N., Puertas, Antonio M., Bergenholtz, Johan, Egelhaaf, Stefan Ulrich, Moussaid, A., Pusey, Peter N., ...
Experiments, theory, and simulation were used to study glass formation in a simple model system composed of hard spheres with short-range attraction (Òsticky hard spheresÓ). The experiments, using...

Phase separation in star polymer-colloid mixtures (2000)
Dzubiella, J., Jusufi, A., Likos, C. N., Von Ferber, C., Lowen, H., Stellbrink, J., ...
We examine the demixing transition in star polymer-colloid mixtures for star arm numbers f=2,6,16,32 and different star-colloid size ratios. Theoretically, we solve the thermodynamically...
