What is Colloidal Silicon Dioxide? Colloidal silicon dioxide, in other terms known as ‘colloidal silica’, is a polymeric form of silicon. The non-toxic, naturally occurring element silicon is listed ...

Colloidal self-assembly has been investigated as a promising and practical approach for the fabrication of photonic nanostructures, including colloidal crystals, composite and inverse opals, and ...

Researchers have developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations between the atomic structure of colloids and their perceptible material ...

Self-organization of soft-matter components can create complex and beautiful structures. But the intricate structures created by adding a second stage of organization could reveal more than just a ...
