Novel Colloidal Interactions in Anisotropic Fluids

Philippe Poulin, +3 more
- 21 Mar 1997 - 
TL;DR: Small water droplets dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal exhibit a novel class of colloidal interactions, arising from the orientational elastic energy of the anisotropic host fluid, which can lead to novel mechanisms for colloid stabilization.
