Colloidal Interactions and Novel Colloidal Structures in Thin Nematic Layers
The thesis presents experimental studies of colloidal interactions and novel colloidal structures in confined nematic liquid crystal using optical tweezers. Liquid crystal colloids are a novel class of composite materials with well-controlled periodic structures in the nanometer and micrometer ranges. Moreover, they also posses novel mechanical, optical and rheological properties, …
