Liquid-crystalline behavior on dumbbell-shaped colloids and the observation of chiral blue phases
Colloidal liquid crystals account for various applications due to the combination of characteristics relevant for liquid crystals and colloids. The authors elaborate the impact of concave geometry on the properties of colloidal liquid crystals for development of functional materials.
