Phase Transitions in Colloidal Suspensions of Disks Zhengdong Cheng, Texas Engineering Experiment Station, DMR Despite their natural abundance and wide industrial applications, such as red blood cells and clay, disks are the least studied colloidal systems compared to geometries like spheres and rods. In our project, we established methods to fabricate and control the size, aspect ratio, and polydispersity of organic and inorganic disks and platelets, respectively. The phase behavior of charged disk suspensions displays a strong dependence on ionic strengths, as the interplay between excluded volume and electrostatic interactions determines the formation of gels and liquid crystal states. A systematic variation in the aspect ratio in the low aspect ratio region (0.001 < ξ < 0.01), showed that the I-N transition volume fraction increases with the aspect ratio. We also demonstrate the fabrication of amphiphilic nano-sheets, which are either surface- or edge-modified plates with thickness at the atomic scale, one of the thinnest amphiphilic particles reported so far.
