What is Engineering Solid-like Structures via an Arrested Spinodal Decomposition about?

The possibilities to tune the structure of solid like material resulting from arrested spinodal decomposition is investigated using a system composed of lysozyme, a globular protein, dispersed in a water solution as model system for colloids with short range attraction. It is shown that the resulting arrested spinodal decomposition is driven by the interplay between the early kinetics of the spinodal decomposition and the dynamical arrest. The initial concentration, the quench depth and speed from the fluid state to the arrested state enable to tailor the mesh size of the solid network of the arrested spinodal decomposition.
