The phase behavior of anisotropic nanodiscs of different aspect ratio in their individual and mixed states in aqueous and hydrophobic media is investigated. Distinct phase separation, equilibrium fluid and equilibrium gel phases are observed in nanoclay dispersions with extensive aging. The work then explores solution behavior, gelation kinetics, aging dynamics and temperature-induced ordering in the individual and mixed states of these discotic colloids. Anisotropic ordering dynamics induced by a water-air interface, waiting time and temperature in these dispersions were studied in great detail along with aggregation behavior of nanoplatelets in hydrophobic environment of alcohol solutions. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aCeramics 606 $aGlass 606 $aComposites (Materials) 606 $aComposite materials 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z18000 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aCeramics. 615 0$aGlass. 615 0$aComposites (Materials). 615 0$aComposite materials. 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 14$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 676 $a541.345 700 $aPujala$b Ravi Kumar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791799 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300384503321 996 $aDispersion Stability, Microstructure and Phase Transition of Anisotropic Nanodiscs$91770412 997 $aUNINA
