Overview

abstract

• Colloidal fluids play an essential role in understanding the fundamental properties of soft materials and in designing some of their applications. This chapter introduces some concepts and techniques currently used in the study of colloidal fluids, particularly those concerning the static structural properties and dynamic structural properties such as self-and collective diffusion. Understanding of the physical properties of colloidal systems under conditions of confinement is an area of current interest from different perspectives. The chapter explains the case of quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) colloidal fluids, that is, colloidal fluids confined between two plane parallel walls, with the interwalls distance being only slightly larger than the particle%27s size. It also discusses the effective Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) pair potential for colloidal interactions. The chapter also presents the integral equation of Ornstein and Zernike for the static structures. © 2016 by John Wiley %26 Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
