Journal ArticleDOI
Line Tension of Twist-Free Carbon Nanotube Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Microdroplets on Solid Surfaces.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to characterize the line tension by fitting measured droplet shape to a macroscopic theoretical model that incorporated the shape of droplets into the model and showed that this ratio is orders of magnitude larger in lyotropic liquid crystal systems comprising micrometer-long colloidal particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometric percolation of hard nanorods: The interplay of spontaneous and externally induced uniaxial particle alignment.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the existence and shape of such a "percolation island" in the phase diagram crucially depends on the connectivity length-a critical distance defining direct connections between neighboring particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced ordering in length-polydisperse carbon nanotube solutions at high concentrations as revealed by small angle X-ray scattering.

TL;DR: In this article, small-angle X-ray scattering and polarized light microscopy data are combined to characterize quantitatively the morphology of liquid crystalline phases formed in CNT solutions at concentrations from 3 to 6.5% by volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of RNA stiffness on the self-assembly of virus particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of genome stiffness on the encapsidation free energy of the complex of RNA and capsid proteins and showed that an increase in effective chain stiffness because of base-pairing could be the reason why under certain conditions linear chains have an advantage over branched chains when it comes to encapsidation efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
The different faces of mass action in virus assembly
TL;DR: The results rationalize a number of recent in vitro co-assembly experiments showing that short polyanions are less effective at attracting virus coat proteins to form virus-like particles than long ones do, even if both are present at equal weight concentrations in the assembly mixture.
