Journal ArticleDOI
Self-organisation of semi-flexible rod-like particles
TL;DR: A comprehensive computer simulation study of the liquid-crystal phase behaviour of purely repulsive, semi-flexible rod-like particles finds two different ways in which the layer thickness of the particles in the smectic A phase may respond to an increase in concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Landau-de Gennes theory for hard colloidal rods: defects and tactoids
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological Landau-de Gennes theory for hard colloidal rods was constructed by performing an order parameter expansion of the chemical-potential dependent grand potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orientational Order of Carbon Nanotube Guests in a Nematic Host Suspension of Colloidal Viral Rods
Nicolas Puech,Matthew Dennison,Christophe Blanc,Paul van der Schoot,Paul van der Schoot,Marjolein Dijkstra,René van Roij,Philippe Poulin,Eric Grelet +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the degree of order of the CNTs is systematically smaller than that of the fd virus particles for the whole nematic range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuum Percolation of Polydisperse Rods in Quadrupole Fields: Theory and Simulations
TL;DR: The theory and simulation demonstrate that the percolation threshold of a polydisperse mixture can be lower than that of the individual components, confirming recent work based on a mapping onto a Bethe lattice as well as earlier computer simulations involving dipole fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compression and Reswelling of Microgel Particles after an Osmotic Shock.

TL;DR: This work uses dedicated microfluidic devices to expose soft hydrogel particles to a rapid change in the externally applied osmotic pressure and observes a surprising, nonmonotonic response: after an initial rapid compression, the particle slowly reswells to approximately its original size.
