We calculate an overlap volume of depletion zone between two rodlike colloids, based on the second virial approximation. We examine nematic-isotropic phase transition (NIT) and two-phase coexistence between an isotropic and a nematic phase at low polymer concentrations. We find that the depletion interaction is dependent on the orientational order parameter of rodlike colloids and leads to a decrease in the NIT concentration on the addition of polymer. The coexistence curves have a leaning chimney shape and are shifted to lower rod concentrations on increasing the polymer concentration.}, pages = {197--198}, publisher = {日本液晶学会}, title = {2E10 棒状コロイド-高分子混合系の枯渇が引き起こす相分離}, volume = {2001}, year = {2001} }
