Intrinsic geometric conformation and the phase and nonlinear flow behavior of carbon nanotube dispersions

Jaegyun Im, Min Chan Kim, Kyu Hyun, Tae Hoon Seo, Jaegeun Lee

We compared three CNTs, all rigid rods by persistence length: two wavy rigid random coil (RRC)–CNTs and one straight rigid rod (RR)–CNT. RRC clusters stacked under flow, whereas RR liquid-crystal domains slid, with distinct nonlinear responses.
