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

D. Vigolo, J. Zhao, S. Handschin, X. Cao, A. J. deMello & R. Mezzenga.

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 … Continue Reading ››
