Photo-Induced Relief in Rheology of Liquid Crystals

Photo-Induced Relief in Rheology of Liquid Crystals

In this paper, we report the first experimental results on capillary shear flows of a nematic liquid crystal 5CB (4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl), arising due to interaction of the anisotropic liquid, correspondent to the continuous rotational symmetry, with photo-profiled polymer surfaces. The regular s...
