Structure formation in colloidal rod suspensions : experiments and computer simulations
Clay mineral particles have been widely used to prepare colloidal suspensions, certain clay mineral have a rod-like shape. Colloidal suspensions of thin rods are known to show nematic phases, provided that particles are well stabilised against attractive interactions. At low concentrations such susp...
