Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) materials are of interest both for their potential in
display technology and the fascinating science found in liquid crystals confined to small …

Polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) represent an important new class of materials
with electro‐optic applications such as flexible displays, large‐area devices projection …

We study by means of virtual molecular dynamics computer experiments the response of a
bulk biaxial nematic to an applied external field and, in particular, the relative speed of …

Abstract We present Monte Carlo computer simulations of model nematic droplets that mimic
polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC's) with bipolar boundary conditions. We investigate …

Using computer simulations we investigate the microscopic structure of the singular director
field within a nematic droplet. As a theoretical model for nematic liquid crystals we take hard …

The molecular anchoring and orientational wetting properties of a liquid crystal close to the
nematic-isotropic transition temperature confined to the 0.2 μm cylindrical channels of …

We consider the structure transitions in oblate supramicrometer nematic droplets related to
reorientation of the line defect in the electric field. These transitions can be used in optical …

Liquid crystal nanoparticles using the low molecular weight liquid crystal E7 are prepared by
a miniemulsion approach with a droplet size between 180 and 630 nm. The sizes of liquid …

During the last three decades intense studies have been carried out to understand the
behavior of liquid crystals dispersed in various media. One of the most common outcomes is …

We present a new class of photonic devices in which light is confined in channel
waveguides, named LC: PDMS, made of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) core in a poly …
