Threading the spindle: a geometric study of chiral liquid crystal polymer microparticles
H. S. Ansell, D. S. Kim, R. D. Kamien +2
Polymeric particles are strong candidates for designing artificial materials capable of emulating the complex twisting-based functionality observed in biological systems. In this l…

Controlling Gaussian and mean curvatures at microscale by sublimation and condensation of smectic liquid crystals
Dae Seok Kim, Yun Jeong Cha, Mun Ho Kim +2
Soft materials with layered structure such as membranes, block copolymers, and smectics exhibit intriguing morphologies with nontrivial curvatures. We report on restructuring the G…
