Figure 7.

The focused insight for the behavior of dielectric constant in the isotropic liquid phase in MBBA-based nanocolloids for larger concentrations of nanoparticles. Solid curves are associated with the parameterization via Equation (5). Reference data are taken from Figure 4. The gray dashed arrow indicates the isotropic-nematic phase transition temperature $T^C$. Note: the transition occurs within the isotropic liquid phase, which suggests the liquid-liquid transition ($I_2\leftarrow I_1$)—indicated by the dotted arrow.
