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…
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…
RNA topology remolds electrostatic stabilization of viruses
Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, Jef Wagner, Paul van der Schoot +2
Simple RNA viruses efficiently encapsulate their genome into a nano-sized protein shell: the capsid. Spontaneous co-assembly of the genome and the capsid proteins is driven predomi…
Quasiuniversal connectedness percolation of polydisperse rod systems
Biagio Nigro, Claudio Grimaldi, Peter Ryser +2
The connectedness percolation threshold (eta_c) and critical coordination number (Z_c) of systems of penetrable spherocylinders characterized by a length polydispersity are studied…
