Two‐dimensional colloidal nanomaterials are running into renaissance after the
enlightening researches of graphene. Macroscopic one‐dimensional fiber is an optimal …

The formation of liquid crystals (LCs) is the most viable approach to produce macroscopic,
periodic self-assembled materials from oriented graphene sheets. Herein, we have …

Clay minerals, like beidellite or nontronite, spontaneously exfoliate in water and form
colloidal suspensions of nanosheets. In a given range of concentration, these suspensions …

We report the observation of liquid crystals formed by giant graphene oxide flakes (aspect
ratio above 10 000) suspended in water. As their concentration increases, the flakes …

The phase diagram of colloidal suspensions of electrically charged nanosheets, such as
clays, despite their many industrial uses, is not yet understood either experimentally or …

The large-scale assembly of asymmetric colloidal particles is used in creating high-
performance fibres. A similar concept is extended to the manufacturing of thin films of self …

In this article, we present a general overview of the organization of colloidal charged clay
particles in aqueous suspension by studying different natural samples with different …

Bent-Shaped Liquid Crystals: Structures and Physical Properties provides insight into the
latest developments in the research on liquid crystals formed by bent-shaped mesogens …

Inorganic layered crystals exemplified by clay minerals can be exfoliated in solvents to form
colloidal dispersions of extremely thin inorganic layers that are called nanosheets. The …

Colloidally dispersed inorganic nanosheets prepared by exfoliation of layered crystals form
lyotropic liquid crystals where highly anisotropic nanosheets with a constant thickness of ca …
