Abstract
Fundamental issues involving interactions and packing of nanometer-sized particles are being investigated as an extension of previous experimental studies on larger submicron particles and in relationship to general theoretical work on colloidal systems. Relationships between particle interaction energies and packing indicate (1) dense gels can be formed in stable systems by minimization of the hydrodynamic radius and (2) dense clusters can be formed in flocculated systems by the use of weakly attractive particles where particle restructuring occurs. Novel techniques for the formation of nanostructures within polymeric matrices are also introduced to address gel cracking problems.Keywords
