Figure 7. Models of the structure and transformation of tactoids.

Figure 7

(ac) Cartoon depictions of the tactoids and their transformations as the solvent evaporates from the CNC suspension. A typical fusion mode which leads to the defects of folded layers is shown. d and e are three-dimensional models showing the ellipsoidal shape of CNC tactoids and the chiral nematic ordering of CNCs inside them.
