Directing liquid crystalline self-organization of rod-like particles through tunable attractive single tips

Dispersions of rod-like colloidal particles exhibit a plethora of liquid crystalline states, including nematic, smectic A, smectic B, and columnar phases. This phase behavior can be explained by presuming the predominance of hard-core volume exclusion between the particles. We show here how the self...
