Optical manipulation of shape-morphing elastomeric liquid crystal microparticles doped with gold nanocrystals
Yaoran Sun, Julian S. Evans, Taewoo Lee +4
We demonstrate facile optical manipulation of shape of birefringent colloidal microparticles made from liquid crystal elastomers. Using soft lithography and polymerization, we fabr…

Active shape-morphing elastomeric colloids in short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals
Julian S. Evans, Yaoran Sun, Bohdan Senyuk +4
Active elastomeric liquid crystal particles with initial cylindrical shapes are obtained by means of soft lithography and polymerization in a strong magnetic field. Gold nanocrysta…
