Continuous Isotropic-Nematic Transition in Amyloid Fibril Suspensions Driven by Thermophoresis

The isotropic and nematic (I + N) coexistence for rod-like colloids is a signature of the first-order thermodynamics nature of this phase transition. However, in the case of amyloid fibrils, the biphasic region is too small to be experimentally detected, due to their extremely high aspect ratio. Her...
