In this interview, AZoM talks to Dr. William G. Fahrenholtz about his research, and how he uses Phase Equilibrium Diagrams within it. Can you give a brief description of your research? My expertise is ...

Five different phases of a colloid-polymer mixture can co-exist at the same time, in defiance of the 150-year-old Gibbs phase rule, which states that only three simultaneous phases are possible. The ...
