This project would synthesise and study the behaviour of active colloidal gels. Because ithas for the most part been confined to quasi two-dimensional systems, the experimentalstudy of active colloids has yet to be extended to spinodal gels of active particles, whichform a bi-continuous network and are therefore three- dimensional. However, a threedimensionalactive colloidal system has recently been realised in Bristol, which permitsthe study into this novel phase of active matter. It is expected that experiments would berun concurrently with simulations, in which the supervisory team have considerableexpertise.

这个项目将合成和研究活性胶体凝胶的行为。由于活性胶体的实验研究大部分局限于准二维体系，因此还没有扩展到活性粒子的亚稳凝胶，这种凝胶形成双连续网络，因此是三维的。然而，最近在布里斯托实现了一个三维活性胶体系统，这使得对这种活性物质新相的研究更加深入。预计实验将与模拟同时进行，其中监督小组具有丰富的专业知识。
