This review provides an exhaustive overview of unsteady fields that can vary in one, two, or three dimensions of space, as a powerful tool to direct the self-assembly of magnetic colloids into structures with tunable properties. Unlike steady fields, unsteady (nonstationary) fields can overcome the limitations of classical dipolar interactions, leading to a much wider range of structures, ranging from dense crystalline aggregates to 3D spanning networks, or dynamic clusters. The ability to precisely control the amplitude, frequency, and field direction allows for fine-tuning the interplay of interparticle forces, resulting in controllable assembly pathways. This review analyzes how different types of unsteady fields influence the morphology and dynamics of the self-assembled structures. Key parameters, such as the Mason number, are discussed to characterize the governing driving forces, and potential applications are highlighted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":293,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 101903"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These materials exhibit time dependent evolution of viscoelastic properties, driven by structural buildup under quiescent conditions, known as physical aging. As a result, they do not obey the standard linear viscoelastic framework, which is well-established for equilibrium materials. This article explores the application of linear viscoelastic principles to soft glassy materials by employing the effective time theory that readjusts the material clock to address the time dependence associated with the same. We explore how the effective time domain approach validates key linear viscoelastic principles, including the Boltzmann superposition principle, convolution relation, time–temperature superposition, time–stress superposition, and the Fourier transform relationship between relaxation modulus and complex modulus. We also discuss the relationship between soft glassy materials and thixotropy. These insights highlight the critical role of effective time in comprehending the intricate rheological characteristics of soft glassy materials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":293,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 101896"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143228698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their commercialization is hindered by stability issues. The current understanding of PSC degradation mechanisms focuses on factors such as moisture, oxygen, light, temperature, and electrical bias are comprehensively analyzed in this review article. The essential encapsulation strategies require further refinement for long-standing stability. Material engineering, including compositional tuning and defect passivation, has shown promise in enhancing intrinsic perovskite stability. Interface tuning between the perovskite layer and charge transport materials (hole and electron transport layers) is crucial for suppressing ion migration and charge recombination. Additionally, the advanced characterization techniques offer to dive into the degradation pathways, enabling targeted stability improvements. Despite substantial progress in obtaining higher efficiency in PSCs, it is still challenging to achieve the expected stability in PSCs. The development of novel perovskite materials with enhanced structural stability, improved encapsulation strategies, and an understanding of degradation mechanisms at the molecular level should be the imminent research focus with the development of accelerated testing methodologies and field trials essential for evaluating long-standing performance.
