Abstract With the aid of the critical size of colloidal cluster, the critical volume fraction of phase transition of colloidal system is determined by the principle of entropy maximum and Carnahan–Starling (CS) state equation in this paper. In our discussion, no parameter is introduced externally, and our results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
