Abstract

A new approach to transport processes in dense charged as well as neutral colloidal suspensions is presented. It is based on a far-reaching analogy between dense colloidal suspensions and dense hard-sphere fluids, implying, in turn, an analogy with atomic liquids. As a result, new expressions valid for a number of colloidal transport coefficients are predicted.
