Thermotropic liquid crystals can be formed by various molecular shapes, some discovered
over 125 years ago. The simplest and most-studied liquid crystals are made of rod-shaped …

Freestanding slender fluid filaments of room‐temperature ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
are described. They are stabilized either by internal electric fields of bound charges formed …

The recoil process of free-standing liquid crystal filaments is investigated experimentally and
theoretically. We focus on two aspects, the contraction speed of the filament and a …

We present small angle X-ray and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM)
studies of three nitro-substituted (n-OPIMB-NO2, n= 7, 9 and16) bent-core liquid crystals …

Quasi-one dimensional fluid structures are commonly found in nature, but may be formed
from any material that can suppress the Rayleigh-Plateau instability, which prohibits many …

In this work, we describe dynamic behavior of free-standing bent-core liquid crystal filaments
under dilative and axial compressive stresses in the B7 phase. We found that such filaments …
