Liquid crystal elastomer coatings with programmed response of surface profile
Greta Babakhanova, Taras Turiv, Yubing Guo +5
Stimuli-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with a strong coupling of orientational molecular order and rubber-like elasticity, show a great potential as working elements i…
Anisotropic wetting and de-wetting of drops on substrates patterned with polygonal posts
Robert J. Vrancken, Matthew L. Blow, Halim Kusumaatmaja +5
We present results showing how water drops, produced by ink-jet printing, spread on surfaces patterned with lattices of diamond or triangular posts. Considering post widths typical…
Circular dichroism of cholesteric polymers and the orbital angular momentum of light
W. Löffler, D. J. Broer, J. P. Woerdman
We explore experimentally if the light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) interacts with chiral nematic polymer films. Specifically, we measure the circular dichroism of such a mater…
Fully reversible transition from Wenzel to Cassie-Baxter states on corrugated superhydrophobic surfaces
R. J. Vrancken, H. Kusumaatmaja, K. Hermans +4
Liquid drops on textured surfaces show different dynamical behaviors depending on their wetting states. They are extremely mobile when they are supported by composite solid-liquid-…
InP-based two-dimensional photonic crystals filled with polymers
R. van der Heijden, C. F. Carlstrom, J. A. P. Snijders +8
Polymer filling of the air holes of Indium Phosphide based two-dimensional photonic crystals is reported. After infiltration of the holes with a liquid monomer and solidification o…
