Dispersions of ellipsoidal particles in a nematic liquid crystal
Mykola Tasinkevych, Frederic Mondiot, Olivier Mondain-Monval +1
Colloidal particles dispersed in a partially ordered medium, such as a liquid crystal (LC) phase, disturb its alignment and are subject to elastic forces. These forces are long-ran…
Timescales in creep and yielding of attractive gels
Vincent Grenard, Thibaut Divoux, Nicolas Taberlet +1
The stress-induced yielding scenario of colloidal gels is investigated under rough boundary conditions by means of rheometry coupled to local velocity measurements. Under an applie…
Nematic droplets in aqueous dispersions of carbon nanotubes
Nicolas Puech, Eric Grelet, Philippe Poulin +2
Aqueous dispersions of exfoliated, bile-salt stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes exhibit a first order transition to a nematic liquid-crystalline phase. The nematic phase prese…
Dynamics in the smectic phase of stiff viral rods
Emilie Pouget, Eric Grelet, M. Paul Lettinga
We report on the dynamics in colloidal suspensions of stiff viral rods, called fd-Y21M. This mutant filamentous virus exhibits a persistence length 3.5 times larger than the wild-t…
Orientational order of carbon nanotube guests in a nematic host suspension of colloidal viral rods
Nicolas Puech, Matthew Dennison, Christophe Blanc +5
In order to investigate the coupling between the degrees of alignment of elongated particles in binary nematic dispersions, surfactant stabilized single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs…
Insights on the local dynamics induced by thermal cycling in granular matter
Baptiste Percier, Thibaut Divoux, Nicolas Taberlet
In this letter, we report results on the effect of temperature variations on a granular assembly through Molecular Dynamic simulations of a 2D granular column. Periodic dilation of…
