  • Title: The phase behavior of rigid rods in an anisotropic mean field with applications to carbon nanotubes in nematic liquid crystals.
    Author: Popa-Nita V.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2015 Sep 07; 143(9):094901. PubMed ID: 26342384.
    Abstract:
    The phenomenological model [van der Schoot et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 112, 4512 (2008)] for predicting the alignment of carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions in thermotropic liquid crystals is extended to include the attractive interactions between CNTs. The influence of the attractive forces (described by a spatially uniform mean field) on the phase behavior and orientational properties of the mixture are analyzed.
