title: Multiphase coexistence and destabilization of liquid crystalline binary nanosheet colloids of titanate and clay.
abstract: A plate-plate binary colloid system of photocatalytically active titanate and inert clay nanosheets shows macroscopically separated multiphase coexistence. Two liquid crystalline phases and one isotropic phase coexist at high titanate and low clay concentrations whereas the colloids are destabilized at high clay concentrations.
