This thesis constitutes a fundamental investigation towards a better control over the stability of such suspensions. Through the chapters, different key parameters governing the stability of colloid?polymer mixtures are explored. How the colloid (pigment) shape and the effective polymer-colloid affinity modulate the stability of the suspension are examples of these key parameters. Despise the mostly theoretical results presented, the thesis is written in a format accessible to a broad scientific audience. Some of the equations of state presented might of direct use to experimentalists. Furthermore, new theoretical insights about colloid?polymer mixtures are put forward. These include four-phase coexistences in effective two-component, quantification of depletant partitioning at high colloidal concentrations, multiple re-entrant phase behaviour of the colloidal fluid?solid coexistence, and a condition where polymers are neither depleted nor adsorbed from/to the colloidal surface. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aPolymers 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25099 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aPolymers. 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 14$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 676 $a530.474 676 $a541.345 700 $aGonzález García$b Álvaro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063391 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349503003321 996 $aPolymer-Mediated Phase Stability of Colloids$92532075 997 $aUNINA
