Dispersion Stability, Microstructure and Phase Transition of Anisotropic Nanodiscs

This thesis explores the dispersion stability, microstructure and phase transitions involved in the nanoclay system. It describes the recently discovered formation of colloidal gels via two routes: the first is through phase separation and second is by equilibrium gelation and includes the first rep...
