Phase behavior of nanotube suspensions: from attraction induced percolation to liquid crystalline phases

Abstract

This article presents an overview of recent studies on the behavior of carbon nanotube dispersions. The effect of attractive interactions on the percolation threshold is investigated. Contrary to this, we show that carbon nanotubes experiencing repulsive interactions exhibit a different phase behavior including liquid crystallinity.
