Phase separation experiments have been performed on mixtures of colloidal polyisobutene grafted boehmite rods and flexible polymers. Two systems of rods have been studied, one with an average length and diameter of \(71 \mathrm{~nm}\) and \(11.1 \mathrm{~nm}\), and the other with an average length a
Moderate concentrations of a small non-adsorbing polymer cause a suspension of colloidal particles to phase-separate into coexisting colloidal fluid and crystal via the 'depletion' mechanism. At higher polymer concentrations, crystallization is suppressed, and a variety of non-equilibrium aggregatio
Results are presented from Monte Carlo simulations of bulk mixtures of hard Gaussian overlap particles with an aspect ratio of 3:1 and hard spheres with diameters equal to the breadths of the rods. For sphere number-concentrations of 50% and lower, compression of the isotropic fluid results in forma
The rotational diffusion of rod-like polar macromolecules (poly-7-benzyl-L-glutamate or polyn-hexylisocyanate) within entangled non polar polymer coils (polystyrene) is studied by dielectric absorption in solution. The dielectric increment as well as the rotatory diffusion constant is studied as a f
