Dynamic Complex Liquid Crystal Emulsions

We report a new class of dynamically reconfigurable complex colloids comprising immiscible liquid crystals (LCs) and fluorocarbon oils. Producing stable spherical droplets requires the utilization of appropriately designed surfactants to reduce the high intrinsic surface tension between the LCs and...
