abstract = {Suspensions of rod-like colloids show in equilibrium an
isotropic-nematic coexistence region, which depends on the
strength of an attractive interaction between the rods. We
study the behavior of this system in shear flow for various
interaction strengths. A hybrid simulation approach is
employed, which consists of a mesoscale particle-based
hydrodynamics technique (multi-particle collision dynamics)
for the solvent and molecular dynamics simulations for the
colloidal rods. The shear flow induces alignment in the
initially isotropic phase, which generated an additional
free volume around each rod and causes the densification of
the isotropic phase at the expense of an erosion of the
initially nematic phase. Furthermore, the nematic phase
exhibits a collective rotational motion. The associated
rotational time decreases linearly in 1/(gamma)over dot with
increasing shear rate (gamma)over dot, and increases with
increasing attraction strength between the rods. The density
difference between these two regions at different shear
rates allows us to determine the binodal line of the phase
diagram. For large applied shear rates, the difference
between the phases disappears in favor of a homogeneous
flow-aligned state.},
