Thermodynamics, transition dynamics, and texturing in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals with mesogens exhibiting a direct isotropic/smectic-A transition
Ezequiel R. Soule, Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
Experimental and modeling/simulation studies of phase equilibrium and growth morphologies of novel polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mixtures of PS (polystyrene) and liquid c…
Non-isothermal model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystalline transition
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
An extension to a high-order model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystalline phase transition was derived to take into account thermal effects including anisotropic the…
Meta-stable nematic pre-ordering in smectic liquid crystalline phase transitions
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
Modeling and simulation studies using a high-order Landau-de Gennes type model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A liquid crystal transition are presented showing the existence of m…
Shape-dynamic growth, structure, and elasticity of homogeneously oriented spherulites in an isotropic/smectic-A mesophase transition
Nasser Mohieddin Abukhdeir, Alejandro D. Rey
A Landau-de Gennes model that integrates the nematic quadrupolar tensor order parameter and complex smectic-A order parameters is used to simulate the two-dimensional growth of an…
