Interactions between DNA and an adsorbed cationic surfactant at the nematic liquid crystal
(LC)/aqueous interface were investigated using polarized and fluorescence microscopy. The …

The responsive and dynamic character of liquid crystals (LCs), arising from their ability to
self‐organize into long‐range ordered structures while maintaining fluidity, has given them a …

Multiple emulsions are usually stabilized by amphiphilic molecules that combine the
chemical characteristics of the different phases in contact. When one phase is a liquid crystal …

It is known that the orientations assumed by thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) in contact with
water are sensitive to the types and concentrations of surfactants and/or polymers present in …

Liquid crystals have a long history of use as materials that respond to external stimuli (eg,
electrical and optical fields). More recently, a series of investigations have reported the …
