Abstract
We present some recent theory and simulation results addressing the
phenomena of colloidal gelation at both high and low volume fractions,
in the presence of short-range attractive interactions. We discuss
the ability of mode-coupling theory and its adaptations to address
situations with strong heterogeneity in density and/or dynamics.
We include a discussion of the effect of attractions on the shear-thinning
and yield behaviour under flow.
