Abstract: Sterically stabilized silica particles dispersed in a marginal solvent undergo a spinodal decomposition upon cooling below the critical temperature. Because of the low diffusivity of the particles the early time regime of the decomposition can be studied. The decomposition was studied by light scattering. The results show that linear theory cannot be applied. Results can however be scaled to a universal function which is also applicable to phase separation dynamics in metals, binary fluid mixtures, glasses, and polymeric blends.
