Threading the spindle: a geometric study of chiral liquid crystal polymer microparticles
H. S. Ansell, D. S. Kim, R. D. Kamien +2
Polymeric particles are strong candidates for designing artificial materials capable of emulating the complex twisting-based functionality observed in biological systems. In this l…
