Time-dependent Re-Aggregation of Colloidal Laponite Clay Suspensions

We study a synthetic clay suspension of laponite by measuring transient electric birefringence (TEB) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) over time. Experiments show a strong dependence on stirring of the sample for anomalous TEB behaviour, consistent with the effect being caused by competing optical...
