Syneresis, the compaction of a material accompanied by fluid expulsion, is a typical mechanical instability which exists among colloidal gel based materials and that negatively affects the quality of relevant applications. We shed light onto the internal dynamics of model colloidal gels undergoing syneresis using Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI). The resulting dynamical maps capture the distinct differences in spatial and temporal relaxation patterns between colloidal gels comprising solid and liquid ...[more]

Project description:Gels of DNA nanostars, besides providing a compatible scaffold for biomedical applications, are ideal model systems for testing the physics of equilibrium colloidal gels. Here, using dynamic light scattering and photon correlation imaging (a recent technique that, by blending light scattering and imaging, provides space-resolved quantification of the dynamics), we follow the process of gel formation over 10 orders of magnitude in time in a model system of tetravalent DNA nanostars in solution, a realization of limited-valence colloids. Such a system, depending on the nanostar concentration, can form either equilibrium or phase separation gels. In stark contrast to the heterogeneity of concentration and dynamics displayed by the phase separation gel, the equilibrium gel shows absence of aging and a remarkable spatially uniform dynamics.

Project description:Colloidal gels are elasto-plastic materials composed of an out-of-equilibrium, self-assembled network of micron-sized (solid) particles suspended in a fluid. Recent work has shown that far-field hydrodynamic interactions do not change gel structure, only the rate at which the network forms and ages. However, during gel formation, the interplay between short-ranged attractions leading to gelation and equally short-ranged hydrodynamic lubrication interactions remains poorly understood. Here, we therefore study gelation using a range of hydrodynamic descriptions: from single-body (Brownian Dynamics), to pairwise (Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa), to (non-)lubrication-corrected many-body (Stokesian Dynamics). We confirm the current understanding informed by simulations accurate in the far-field. Yet, we find that accounting for lubrication can strongly impact structure at low colloid volume fraction. Counterintuitively, strongly dissipative lubrication interactions also accelerate the aging of a gel, irrespective of colloid volume fraction. Both elements can be explained by lubrication forces facilitating collective dynamics and therefore phase-separation. Our findings indicate that despite the computational cost, lubricated hydrodynamic modeling with many-body far-field interactions is needed to accurately capture the evolution of the gel structure.

Project description:Colloidal gels, commonly used as mesoporous intermediates or functional materials, suffer from brittleness, often showing small yield strains on the order of 1% or less for gelled colloidal suspensions. The short-range adhesive forces in most such gels are central forces-combined with the smooth morphology of particles, the resistance to yielding and shear-induced restructuring is limited. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to improve colloidal gels by introducing surface roughness to the particles to change the yield strain, giving rise to non-central interactions. To elucidate the effects of particle roughness on gel properties, we prepared thermoreversible gels made from rough or smooth silica particles using a reliable click-like-chemistry-based surface grafting technique. Rheological and optical characterization revealed that rough particle gels exhibit enhanced toughness and self-healing properties. These remarkable properties can be utilized in various applications, such as xerogel fabrication and high-fidelity extrusion 3D-printing, as we demonstrate in this study.

Project description:Endothelial morphogenesis into capillary networks is dependent on the matrix morphology and mechanical properties. In current 3D gels, these two matrix features are interdependent and their distinct roles in endothelial organization are not known. Thus, it is important to decouple these parameters in the matrix design. Colloidal gels can be engineered to regulate the microstructural morphology and mechanics in an independent manner because colloidal gels are formed by the aggregation of particles into a self-similar 3D network. In this work, gelatin based colloidal gels with distinct mechanomorphology were developed by engineering the electrostatic interaction mediated aggregation of particles. By altering the mode of aggregation, colloidal gels showed either compact dense microstructure or tenuous strand-like networks, and the matrix stiffness was controlled independently by varying the particle fraction. Endothelial Cell (EC) networks were favored in tenuous strand-like microstructure through increased cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions, while compact dense microstructure inhibited the networks. For a given microstructure, as the gel stiffness was increased, the extent of EC network was reduced. This result demonstrates that 3D matrix morphology and mechanics provide distinct signals in a bidirectional manner during EC network formation. Colloidal gels can be used to interrogate the angiogenic responses of ECs and can be developed as a biomaterial for vascularization.

Project description:Hydrogels are cross-linked polymer networks swollen in water. The large solvent content enables hydrogels to have unique physical properties and allows them to be used in diverse applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and absorbents. Gel properties are linked to internal dynamics. While bulk gel dynamics have been studied extensively, how gel networks respond locally to deformation has yet to be understood. Here, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels have been stretched to study the effects of deformation on gel dynamics parallel and perpendicular to the stretching direction using dynamic small angle light scattering (DSALS). The implementation of DSALS is described and compared to traditional DLS for PVA gels with different crosslink densities, ranging from 0.75-2%. Despite the orders of magnitude difference in the scattering vector, q, range of the techniques, the dynamics match, and the apparent elastic diffusion coefficient, DA increases linearly with the crosslink density for unstretched gels at a constant 2 wt% concentration. We observe that the elastic motion depends on the direction of stretch, decreasing perpendicular to stretching and increasing at parallel direction. Using DSALS can therefore be an effective tool to evaluate local hydrogel response to deformation.

Project description:Amongst colloidal gels, those designed by the assembly of anisotropic colloidal particles tend to form fibrillar gels and are attracting interest as artificial cell growth environments since they have a structure reminiscent of biological extracellular matrices. Their properties can be tuned by controlling the size, shape, and rigidity of the nanoparticles used during their formation. Herein, the relationship between the physical and mechanical properties of the nanocolloidal building blocks and the properties of the resulting gels is investigated. Thermoresponsive particles with different aspect ratios and controlled rigidity were prepared, and the gelation and the properties of the resulting gels were studied. The results show how the aspect ratio and rigidity of polymer colloids tune the properties of the gels. An increase in the aspect ratio of the nanocolloid used led to a sol-gel transition observed at lower particle concentration, but an increase in the rigidity of the nanocolloids delayed the sol-gel transition to higher concentration. However, at a constant concentration, increases in the anisotropy produced gels with higher modulus and lower yield strain. Similarly, an increase in rigidity of the colloids increased the modulus and reduced the yield strain of the resulting gels.

Project description:Locally (re)structuring colloidal gels - micron-sized particles forming a connected network with arrested dynamics - can enable precise tuning of the micromechanical and -rheological properties of the system. A recent experimental study [B. Saint-Michel, G. Petekidis, and V. Garbin, Soft Matter, 2022, 18, 2092] showed that local ordering can be rapidly induced by acoustically modulating an embedded microbubble. Here, we perform Brownian dynamics simulations to understand the mechanical effect of an oscillating microbubble on the next-to-bubble structure of the embedding colloidal gel. Our simulations reveal hexagonal-close-packed structures over a range that is comparable to the amplitude of the oscillations. However, we were unable to reproduce the unexpectedly long-ranged modification of the gel structure - dozens of amplitudes - observed in experiment. This suggests including long-ranged effects, such as fluid flow, should be considered in future computational work.

Project description:Colloidal gelation is used to form processable soft solids from a wide range of functional materials. Although multiple gelation routes are known to create gels of different types, the microscopic processes during gelation that differentiate them remain murky. A fundamental question is how the thermodynamic quench influences the microscopic driving forces of gelation, and determines the threshold or minimal conditions where gels form. We present a method that predicts these conditions on a colloidal phase diagram, and mechanistically connects the quench path of attractive and thermal forces to the emergence of gelled states. Our method employs systematically varied quenches of a colloidal fluid over a range of volume fractions to identify minimal conditions for gel solidification. The method is applied to experimental and simulated systems to test its generality toward attractions with varied shapes. Using structural and rheological characterization, we show that all gels incorporate elements of percolation, phase separation, and glassy arrest, where the quench path sets their interplay and determines the shape of the gelation boundary. We find that the slope of the gelation boundary corresponds to the dominant gelation mechanism, and its location approximately scales with the equilibrium fluid critical point. These results are insensitive to potential shape, suggesting that this interplay of mechanisms is applicable to a wide range of colloidal systems. By resolving regions of the phase diagram where this interplay evolves in time, we elucidate how programmed quenches to the gelled state could be used to effectively tailor gel structure and mechanics.

Project description:One of the fundamental challenges in vascular morphogenesis is to understand how the microstructural morphology of a 3D matrix can provide the spatial cues to organize the endothelial cells (ECs) into specific vascular structures. Colloidal gels can provide well-controlled distinct morphological matrices because these gels are formed by the aggregation of particles. By altering the aggregation mode, the spatial organization of the particles can be controlled to yield different microstructural morphology. To demonstrate this, colloidal aggregates and gels were developed by electrostatic interaction-mediated aggregation of cationic polyurethane (PU) colloidal particles by using low molecular weight electrolyte and polyelectrolyte to develop microstructurally different colloidal gels without altering their bulk elasticity. Compact dense colloidal aggregates with constricted voids were developed via electrolyte-mediated aggregation, whereas stranded branched networks with interconnected voids were formed via polyelectrolyte-mediated bridging interactions. Results show that the microstructure of aggregated colloids and gels can regulate EC organizations. Within endothelial matrices, ECs track the microstructure of particulate phase to interconnect with stranded colloidal network but cluster around compact colloidal aggregate. Similarly, in colloidal gels, ECs formed capillary-like structures by interconnecting along the stranded networks with enhanced cell-matrix interactions and increased cell extension but aggregated within the constricted voids of compact dense gel with enhanced cell-cell interaction. Both morphometric analysis and expression of EC markers corroborated the cell organizations in these gels. Using these colloidal gels, we demonstrated the role of 3D microstructural morphology as an important regulator for spatial guidance of ECs and simultaneously established the significance of colloidal gels as 3D matrix to regulate cellular morphogenesis.

Project description:Malleable biomaterials such as Herschel-Bulkley (H-B) fluids possess shear responsive rheological properties and are capable of self-assembly and viscoelastic recovery following mechanical disruption (e.g., surgical placement via injection or spreading). This study demonstrated that the addition of moderate molecular weight glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate (CS) (Mw = 15-30 kDa) and hyaluronic acid (HA) (Mw = 20-41 kDa) can be used to modify several rheological properties including consistency index (K), flow-behavior index (n), and yield stress (τy) of submicrometer hydroxyapatite (HAP) (Davg ≤ 200 nm) colloidal gels. GAG-HAP colloidal mixtures exhibited substantial polymer-particle synergism, likely due to "bridging" flocculation, which led to a synergistic increase in consistency index (KGAG-HAP ≥ KGAG + KHAP) without compromising shear-thinning behavior (n < 1) of the gel. In addition, GAG-HAP colloids containing high concentrations of HAP (60-80% w/v) exhibited substantial yield stress (τy ≥ 100 Pa) and viscoelastic recovery properties (G'recovery ≥ 64%). While rheological differences were observed between CS-HAP and HA-HAP colloidal gels, both CS and HA represent feasible options for future studies involving bone defect filling. Overall, this study identified mixture regions where rheological properties in CS-HAP and HA-HAP colloidal gels aligned with desired properties to facilitate surgical placement in non-load-bearing tissue-filling applications such as calvarial defects.
