MICROGRAVITY STUDY ABOUT THE AGGREGATION PROCESS AND CRYSTALLIZATION OF COLLOIDS

In this paper, we introduce several examples relevant to complex fluids in daily life and industry, and show that colloidal aggregation and crystallization are of great importance for both scientific research and application. Then we further elaborate the necessity of microgravity research of colloidal aggregation and crystallization, and briefly introduce the related international microgravity studies as well as the upcoming researches in Chinese Space Station (CSS).
