This mini-review discusses the influence of external fields on the phase behaviour of
lyotropic colloidal liquid crystals. The liquid crystal phases reviewed, formed in suspensions …

An assessment of the data processing and analysis methods used to obtain the second-and
fourth-rank orientational order parameters of liquid crystals from X-ray scattering …

A small amount of azo-dendrimer molecules dissolved in a liquid crystal enables
translational and rotational motions of microrods in a liquid crystal matrix under unpolarized …

Despite lower hardness, stiffness, and resistance to harsh environments, heavy metallic
parts and soft polymer-based composites are often preferred to ceramics because they offer …

The internal structure and cross-sectional geometry of fiber-like poly (3-hexylthiophene)-
based block copolymer micelles has been determined using small-and wide-angle X-ray …

The structure and phase behavior of colloidal solutions of monodisperse rod-shaped
micelles, of different lengths (ca. 300–2100 nm) and formed from poly (ferrocenylsilane) …

Inverse patchy particles are promising colloids to develop new architectures in ceramic
materials based on their self-assembly. Nonetheless, a good understanding of their …

A new sample environment is introduced for the study of soft matter samples in electric fields
using small-angle neutron scattering instruments. The sample environment is temperature …

We report a reversible phase separation phenomenon in nonpolar colloidal suspensions of
rod-shaped dichroic pigment particles in an electric field. The voltage–frequency phase …

We study rheological and rheo-optical properties of suspensions of anisometric pigment
particles in a non-polar fluid. Different rheological regimes from the dilute regime to an …
