Intermolecular interactions in protein solutions in general contain many contributions. If short-range attractions dominate, the state diagram exhibits liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that is metastable with respect to…

The interplay of phase separation and dynamical arrest can lead to the formation of gels and glasses, which is relevant for such diverse fields as hard and soft condensed matter physics, materials science, food engineering and…

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of protein solutions is governed by highly complex protein-protein interactions. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that based on the extended law of corresponding states (ELCS), as proposed for…

Colloidal systems (and protein solutions) are often characterized by attractive interactions whose range is much smaller than the particle size. When this is the case and the interaction is spherical, systems obey a generalized law of…

The so-called extended law of corresponding states, as proposed by Noro and Frenkel [J. Chem. Phys. 113, 2941 (2000)], involves a mapping of the phase behaviors of systems with short-range attractive interactions. While it has already…

Concentrated aqueous solutions of the protein lysozyme undergo a liquid solid transition upon a temperature quench into the unstable spinodal region below a characteristic arrest temperature of Tf=15C. We use video microscopy and…

The phase behavior of colloid-polymer mixtures, and of solutions of globular proteins, is often interpreted in terms of a simple model of hard spheres with short-ranged attraction. While such a model yields a qualitative understanding of…

We report theoretical and simulation studies of phase coexistence in model globular protein solutions, based on short-range, central, pair potential representations of the interaction among macro-particles. After reviewing our previous…

Using computer simulations, we study the dynamic arrest in a schematic model of colloid-polymer mixtures combining short-ranged attractions with long-ranged repulsions. The arrested gel is a dilute rigid network of colloidal particles…

The possibilities to tune the structure of solid like material resulting from arrested spinodal decomposition is investigated using a system composed of lysozyme, a globular protein, dispersed in a water solution as model system for…

Previous theoretical, along with early simulation and experimental, studies have indicated that particles with a short-ranged attraction exhibit a range of new dynamical arrest phenomena. These include very pronounced reentrance in the…

We investigate the competition between spinodal decomposition and dynamical arrest using aqueous solutions of the globular protein lysozyme as a model system for colloids with short-range attractions. We show that quenches below a…

The motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is the spontaneous aggregation of active particles, while equilibrium phase separation (EPS) is thermodynamically driven by attractive interactions between passive particles. Despite such…

We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures…

The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…

We explore phase separation and kinetic arrest in a model active colloidal system consisting of self-propelled, hard-core particles with nonconvex shapes. The passive limit of the model, namely cross-shaped particles on a square lattice,…

Patchy particles are considered to be a good model for protein aggregation. We calculate the equilibrium phase diagram of two-patch colloidal particles undergoing aggregation along with isotropic potential. This investigation demonstrates…

The binodals and the non-ergodicity lines of a binary mixture of hard sphere-like particles with large size ratio are computed for studying the interplay between dynamic arrest and phase separation in depletion-driven colloidal mixtures.…

We consider the dynamics of point particles which are confined to a bounded, possibly nonconvex domain $\Omega$. Collisions with the boundary are described as purely elastic collisions. This turns the description of the particle dynamics…

The dynamical arrest of attractive colloidal particles into out-of-equilibrium structures, known as gelation, is central to biophysics, materials science, nanotechnology, and food and cosmetic applications, but a complete understanding is…
