Theoretical Results

We review the theory of the isotropic—nematic phase transition for solutions of thin hard rods and semi-flexible chain molecules along with the extensions to polydisperse systems and soft interactions. The occurrence of more highly ordered liquid crystal phases (smectic, columnar) in concentrated solutions of colloids and macromolecules is discussed briefly. Experimental results for a number of carefully studied uncharged and charged colloids and macromolecules are compared to theoretical results.
