Abstract:
1. A method of applying a particulate material composition to a surface, the method including the steps of: applying a particulate material composition to a surface, the particulate material composition comprising a carrier material and a plurality of elongated particles of cylindrical symmetry having a diameter of from about 5 nm to about 500 nm, the plurality of elongated particles further having a length that is greater than the diameter with such elongated particles having a diameter that is within 10% of  wherein the separation distance, z wherein some of the elongated particles that are oriented perpendicular to the surface re-orient themselves so as to be oriented horizontal to the surface or some of the elongated cylindrical particles that are oriented horizontal to the surface re-orient themselves so as to be oriented vertical to the surface.
