Out-of-equilibrium interactions and collective locomotion of colloidal spheres with squirming of nematoelastic multipoles
Bohdan Senyuk, Jin-Sheng Wua, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Many living and artificial systems show a similar emergent behavior and collective motions on different scales, starting from swarms of bacteria to synthetic active particles, herd…
Transformation between elastic dipoles, quadrupoles, octupoles and hexadecapoles driven by surfactant self-assembly in nematic emulsion
Bohdan Senyuk, Ali Mozaffari, Kevin Crust +3
Emulsions comprising isotropic fluid drops within a nematic host are of interest for applications ranging from biodetection to smart windows, which rely on changes of molecular ali…
Cellulose-Based Reflective Liquid Crystal Films as Optical Filters and Solar Gain Regulators
Joshua A. De La Cruz, Qingkun Liu, Bohdan Senyuk +3
Many promising approaches for designing interactions of synthetic materials with light involve solid optical monocrystals and nanofabricated photonic crystal structures with spatia…
Aerogel from sustainably grown bacterial cellulose pellicle as thermally insulative film for building envelope
Blaise Fleury, Eldho Abraham, Joshua A. De La Cruz +7
Improving building energy performance requires the development of new highly insulative materials. An affordable retrofitting solution comprising a thin film could improve the resi…
Electrically powered locomotion of dual-nature colloid-hedgehog and colloid-umbilic topological and elastic dipoles in liquid crystals
Bohdan Senyuk, Richmond E. Adufu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Colloidal particles in liquid crystals tend to induce topological defects and distortions of the molecular alignment within the surrounding anisotropic host medium, which results i…
Nemato-elasticity of hybrid molecular-colloidal liquid crystals
B. Senyuk, H. Mundoor, I. I. Smalyukh +1
Colloidal rods immersed in a thermotropic liquid-crystalline solvent are at the basis of so-called hybrid liquid crystals which are characterized by tunable nematic fluidity with s…
