Nematic-Isotropic Spinodal Decomposition Kinetics of Rod-like Viruses
M. Paul Lettinga, Kyongok Kang, Peter Holmqvist +3
We investigate spinodal decomposition kinetics of an initially nematic dispersion of rod-like viruses (fd virus). Quench experiments are performed from a flow-stabilized homogeneou…

Kinetic pathways of the Nematic-Isotropic phase transition as studied by confocal microscopy on rod-like viruses
M. Paul Lettinga, Kyongok Kang, Arnout Imhof +2
We investigate the kinetics of phase separation for a mixture of rodlike viruses (fd) and polymer (dextran), which effectively constitutes a system of attractive rods. This dispers…
