Controlling the collapse of weak colloid-polymer gels

Colloidal gels which are formed as the result of weak depletion attractions exhibit a two stage settling behaviour under gravity. Initially the space spanning network displays solid like behaviour and is resistant to gravitational effects. This structure persists for a finite period of time defined...
