A liquid-crystalline hexagonal columnar phase in highly-dilute suspensions of imogolite nanotubes
Liquid crystals are grouped into four main classes—nematic, lamellar, cubic and columnar—depending on their symmetries. Here, the authors show for the first time that a columnar phase can form in suspensions of imogolite nanotubes at very low concentrations.
