abstract = {There is an abundance of experiments and theories on the
glass transition of colloidal systems consisting of
spherical particles. Much less is known about possible glass
transitions in suspensions of rod-like colloids. In this
study we present observations of a glass transition in
suspensions of very long and thin rod-like, highly charged
colloids. We use as a model system fd-virus particles(a DNA
strand covered with coat proteins) at low ionic strength,
where thick electric double layers are present. Structural
arrest as a result of particle-caging is observed by means
of dynamic light scattering. The glass-transition
concentration is found to be far above the isotropic-nematic
coexistence region. The morphology of the system thus
consists of nematic domains with different orientations.
Below the glass-transition concentration the initial
morphology with large shear-aligned domains breaks up into
smaller domains, and equilibrates after typically 50-100
hours. We quantify the dynamics of the transitional and the
equilibrated texture by means of image time-correlation. A
sharp increase of relaxation times of image time-correlation
functions is found at the glass-transition concentration.
The texture dynamics thus freezes at the same concentration
where structural arrest occurs. We also observe a flow
instability, which sets in after very long waiting times
(typically 200-300 hours), depending on the rod
concentration, which instability affects the texture
morphology.},
