Condensation and dissolution of nematic droplets in dispersions of colloidal rods with thermo–sensitive depletants

Nematic droplets are droplets composed of elongated molecules that tend to point in the same direction but do not have any positional order. Such droplets are well known to adopt a spindle shape called tactoid. How such droplets condensate or melt and how the orientational symmetry is broken remains...
