Towards Mechanical Reinforcement in Polymer Layered Silicates Nanocomposites of the Second Generation
… the nanoplatelets were exfoliated into thinner tactoids by mechanical shearing. A cation exchange of the interlayer Na+ cations with Mg2+ allowed a higher hydration state and produced a ‘shear-labile’ material with reduced Coulomb forces between the layers. Applying shear forces generated in a …

Self-organization of Microtubule and Associated Protein Map65
… of the mitotic spindle. I characterize these 'tactoids' and show that these are homogeneous and jammed inside. Lastly, I present results of the MAP65 condensate formation via liquid-liquid phase separation and quantification of their properties. Additionally, I elucidate a mechanism of …

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Processing Of Nano - Clays And Polymer/clay Nanocomposites
… peak in WAXD and the presence of individual tactoids that lost their parallel registry. The expanded flexible structure of the scCO2 processed clay exposes more of the available surface area allowing for more contact between the polymer and clay surface, and the platelets should be easier to …

Understanding emergence of supramolecular chirality in lyotropic conjugated polymers
… which in turn affects the shape and structure of tactoids in the biphasic phase and modulates the nano- and micron-scale pitches in the final striped twist-bend nematic (Ntb) mesophase. Finally, in Chapter 5, I investigate how supramolecular chirality impacts the chemical doping of conjugated …

Melt Synthesis, Structural, Characterization and Scaling of Swelling 2:1-Layer Silicate Materials
… reactivity, came in large well crystalline tactoids and completely delaminated to a single silicate layers in water. The lithium fluorohectorite behavior reveals that these materials have high potential for barrier application and flame retardancy. Furthermore, the lithium fluorohectorite …
