Abstract

Abstract Dynamic light scattering experiments on a new, wore complex colloidal system reveal that the density fluctuations at high concentration follow a similar pattern as observed for molecular liquids and hard sphere colloids approaching a glass transition. The experiments and their analysis in terms of the idealized mode coupling theory are reviewed. The emerging differences with respect to hard sphere colloids are discussed and explanations forwarded which demonstrate the usefulness of the theory as a guideline for understanding the dynamics in complex fluids and for motivating new experiments.
