Two-stage phase separation in ternary colloid-polymer mixtures.
Whilst binary colloid-polymer mixtures have been studied in detail over the past few decades, here the first results are presented on a ternary mixture involving two particle sizes. Novel and unusual phase separation kinetics are found, with a liquid phase separating from an aggregate phase.
