Anisotropic reversible aggregation of latex nanoparticles suspended in a lyotropic nematic liquid crystal : effect of gradients of biaxial order

We studied the anisotropic aggregation of spherical latex particles dispersed in a lyotropic liquid crystal presenting three nematic phases: calamitic, biaxial, and discotic. We observed that in the nematic calamitic phase aggregates of latex particles are formed, which become larger and anisotropic...
