Confined Liquid Crystals

Simulations show that lyotropic liquid crystals confined to a quasi-2D planar geometry with dimensions comparable to the length of the particles will develop novel linear defect structures that mediate the competing tendencies of mutual- and wall-induced alignment.

Spontaneous emergence of chirality is a pervasive theme in soft matter. We report a transient twist forming in achiral nematic liquid crystals confined to a capillary tube with square cross...

We describe a modified microfluidic method for making Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) via water/octanol-lipid/water double emulsion droplets and encapsulation of nematic lyotropic liquid crystals (LNLCs).
