TL;DR: A combination of in situ investigations are presented, which show that for the crystallization of calcium phosphate these nanometre-sized units are in fact calcium triphosphate complexes and demonstrate how the existence of these complexes lowers the energy barrier to nucleation and unites classical and non-classical nucleation theories.

TL;DR: In this article, a new criterion is introduced for the onset of shear thickening in a concentrated dispersion, which follows from the assumption that shear forces overrule the interparticle forces.

TL;DR: A combined experimental and computational investigation on the precipitation of CaCO3 in dilute aqueous solutions shows that all steps in this process can be explained according to classical concepts of crystal nucleation and growth, and that long-standing physical concepts of nucleation can describe multistep, multiphase growth mechanisms.

TL;DR: The formation of monodisperse nanoparticles from colloidally stabilized primary particles, which at a critical concentration undergo a concerted association process, concomitant with a morphological and structural collapse, is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the cross-linking of linear di-vinyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxanes) (PDMS) with tetrakis (dimethyl-siloxane) was studied in the presence of different concentrations of the crosslinker.
