Lipid Hydrocarbon Tail Structure Governs Interfacial Anchoring and Stripe Morphology in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
Mengwei Li, Stefanie D. Pritzl, Martin F. Haase +1
Liquid crystal-based biosensors exploit the sensitivity of interfacial anchoring to molecular adsorption. Cholesteric liquid crystals are especially useful because their helical st…

Lipid-Mediated Control of Thermally Induced Shape Transformations in Liquid Crystal Droplets
Mengwei Li, Lisa Tran
Lipids and liquid crystals provide a useful platform for addressing how molecular-scale organization is translated into mesoscale shape transformation. Variations in hydrocarbon-ch…
