Gel and glass transition in fragile colloidal clays

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements were performed on colloidal suspensions of Laponite® at different concentrations in the range C_w = (1.5÷3.0)%. Exploiting analogies with supercooled liquids approaching their glass transitions, an Angell plot for the structural relaxation times was drawn....
