Colloids…. . Greek for Glue…. Nano and micromiter sized particles dispersed in a solvent (proteins…. . ) From a physicist point of view… • Effective interactions …. . • Super-atoms with designed interactions…. • Realization of theoretical models (hard-spheres). Test for integral equations approaches. • Size comparable to light wavelength… (confocal microscopy)

Arrest phenomena in short-range potentials Competition between excluded volume caging and bond caging
Adding “gels” in the picture: Joining thermodynamics and dynamics information What are the possible scenarios ?
For HS+attraction, arrest at low (gelation) is the result of a phase separation process interrupted by the glass transition Nature, in press CONFOCAL IMAGES (THE REAL STUFF!)
Scenario 1): Non-equilibrium route to gelation Gels resulting from arrested phase separation (interrupted by the glass transition) quench arrested dense phase
How to go to low T at low (in metastable equilibrium) How to suppress phase separation ? Competing interactions reducing “valence”
The quest for the ideal (thermoreversible) gel…. model 1) Long Living reversible bonds 2)No Phase Separation (No Crystallization) Are 1 and 2 mutually exclusive ? Long Bond Low. Temperature Lifetime Phase-separation
How to stay at low T without phase-separating ? Reasons for separation: (Frank, Hill, Coniglio) Physical Clusters at low T if the infinite cluster (the liquid state !) is the lowest (free)energy state How to make the surface as stable as the bulk (or more)?
Attraction and Repulsion (Yukawa)
Competition Between Short Range Attraction and longer Range Repulsion: Role in the clustering Short Range Attraction, --dominant in small clusters Longer Range Repulsion Importance of the short-range attraction: Only nn interactions
Cluster Ground State: Attraction and Repulsion Vanishing of g !
Typical shapes in the ground state A=8 x =0. 5 s A=0. 05 x=2 s
Size dependence of the cluster shape “Linear” shape is an “attractor”
T=0. 15 T=0. 10
Proteins as colloids…
Scenario 2): equilibrium route to gelation with long-range repulsion equilibrium gelation
How to go to low T at low (in metastable equilibrium) How to suppress phase separation ? Competing interactions reducing “valence”

Summary: routes to gels Zaccarelli, JPCM 19, 323101 (2007) arrested phase separation: non-equilibrium route Equilibrium routes to gelation: with long-range repulsion / with patches
In collaboration with…… Piero Tartaglia Emanuela Zaccarelli Ivan Saika-Voivod (now Canada) Emanuela Bianchi Julio Largo (now Spain) Angel Moreno (now Spain) Stefano Mossa (now France ESRF) Sergey Buldyrev (New York)
Conclusions…. (open questions) Glass-glass transitions Empty liquids Competing interactions Network-forming liquids --- equilibrium gels (no Kauzmann) Self-assembly and network formation (loops) Surface geometry (Janus particles)
From isolated to interacting clusters Role of T and f: On cooling (or on increasing attraction), monomers tend to cluster…. In the region of the phase diagram where the attractive potential would generate a phase separation…. repulsion slows down (or stop) aggregation. The range of the attractive interactions plays a role. How do clusters interact ?
How do “spherical” clusters interact ?
