Novel Colloidal Interactions in Anisotropic Fluids
Novel Colloidal Interactions in Anisotropic Fluids is a scholarly work by Tom Lubensky, published in 1997 in ''Science''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, nanotechnology, attraction, chemistry, colloid, range, chemical physics, dipole, anisotropy, liquid crystal, Complex fluids, and particle size. 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.
