Abstract: Colloidal dispersions allow various order-disorder phase transitions to be observed by optical means. These transitions can be understood in terms of free-volume and cohesion-energy considerations provided these concepts are defined not only for the disordered phase, as in the Van der Waals theory, but also for the ordered phase.
