Simulating defect textures on coalescing nematic shells
Badel L. Mbanga, Kate K. Voorhes, Timothy J. Atherton
Two nematic shells brought in contact coalesce in order to reduce their interfacial tension. This process proceeds through the creation of a liquid neck-like bridge through which t…

Shape and Chirality Transitions in Off-Axis Twist Nematic Elastomer Ribbons
Yoshiki Sawa, Kenji Urayama, Toshikazu Takigawa +5
Using both experiments and finite element simulations, we explore the shape evolution of off-axis nematic elastomer ribbons as a function of temperature. The elastomers are prepare…
