Colloidal gels are complex systems made up of microscopic particles dispersed in a liquid, ultimately producing a semi-solid network. These materials have unique and advantageous properties that ...

The size of particles found in a colloidal dispersion range between 1 and 1000 nanometres. The two components are referred to as the dispersed phase and continuous phase respectively. Either phase can ...

These hybrid particles exhibit the orientational order and responsiveness ... LCNPs can also be incorporated into polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films for smart windows and privacy screens.
