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…
Fractional hopping-type motion in columnar mesophase of semi-flexible rod-like particles
Saber Naderi, Emilie Pouget, Pierre Ballesta +3
We report on single-particle dynamics of strongly interacting filamentous fd virus particles in the liquid-crystalline columnar state in aqueous solution. From fluorescence microsc…
