Formation of Photo-Responsive Liquid Crystalline Emulsion by Using Microfluidics Device

Formation of Photo-Responsive Liquid Crystalline Emulsion by Using Microfluidics Device

Photo-responsive double emulsions made of liquid crystal (LC) were prepared by a microfluidic device, and the light-induced processes were studied. The phase transition was induced from the center of the topological defect for an emulsion made of (N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA), and...

The phase transition was induced from the center of the topological defect for an emulsion made of (N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA), and strange texture change was observed for an emulsion made of 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) doped with azobenzene. The results suggest that there are defect-involved processes in the phase change of LC double emulsions.https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/19/12/669photo-responsive liquid crystaldouble emulsionphase change
