Measuring the Anisotropy in Interfacial Tension of Nematic Liquid Crystals

Liquid crystal (LC) phases typically show anisotropic alignment-dependent properties, such as viscosity and dielectric permittivity, so it stands to reason that LCs also have anisotropic interfacial tensions. Measuring the interfacial tension <inline-formula><math display="inline"...
