We have discovered that the long-term aging of the hexagonal columnar liquid-crystal phase of polydisperse gibbsite platelets leads to fractionated crystallization, that is, to the formation of coexisting columnar crystals with different periods. This process was revealed by microradian X-ray diffraction demonstrating the splitting of the Bragg intercolumnar reflections into sequences of sharper reflections. The fractionated crystallization was observed in a number of samples of sterically stabilized as well as charge-stabilized polydisperse gibbsite platelets.
