The present thesis investigated how mental representations of rotation develop between 2 and 5.5 years of age.

Time-resolved investigation of aggregation and sol-gel transition in colloidal suspensions

Vavrin, Ronny ; Schurtenberger, Peter (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2005 ; Nr. 1497.

In this work we present a study of the aggregation and sol-gel transition of colloidal suspensions using a wide range of experimental techniques, where some of them were modified or developed especially for this purpose. Covering all relevant time and length scales, we investigate in the first part of this work a model system which undergoes a sol-gel transition in the hope to gain further...
