Structure, dynamics, and rheology of concentrated dispersions of poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted colloids

Abstract
A comprehensive experimental study of the dynamics and rheology of concentrated aqueous dispersions of

polyethylene glycol-grafted colloidal spheres is reported. The study focuses on good solvent conditions, for

which excluded-volume interactions dominate. At high concentrations a glass transition is evident from the

nondecaying component of the intensity correlation function measured with three-dimensional dynamic light

scattering. Results for the linear viscoelastic and steady shear rheology on approaching the glass transition

correlate well with the slowing of the diffusive dynamics; in particular, at, or close to, the concentration where

the dynamics becomes nonergodic, the... (More)

correlate well with the slowing of the diffusive dynamics; in particular, at, or close to, the concentration where

the dynamics becomes nonergodic, the dispersions acquire a low-frequency plateau in the elastic shear modulus

as well as a yield stress. The overall behavior of the dispersions conforms to that of hard-sphere dispersions;

however, some qualitative differences are observed in the evolution of the dynamics and rheology with

increasing concentration near the glass transition. (Less)
