Nanoscale or colloidal particles change the properties of materials, imparting solid-like behaviour to a wide variety of complex fluids. This behaviour arises when particles aggregate to form mesoscopic clusters and networks. Numerous scenarios for gelation have been proposed, but no consensus has emerged...
