Shape Changes of Liquid Crystal Elastomers Swollen by Low Molecular Weight Liquid Crystal Drops
Depositing small droplets of low molecular weight liquid crystal 5CB onto liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) films with different alignments induces shape changes and bending actuation of the swollen elastomer. These deformations result from the anisotropic diffusion of 5CB molecules into the LCE, with diffusion mainly progressing along the direction ...

Atomic Force Microscopy of Emulsions and Their Interfacial Nanoparticles
Emulsion droplets and their interfacial nanoparticles were imaged under water by atomic force microscopy. Changes in the sample were triggered by increasing the applied mechanical force. Mechanical data was overlaid on the topography data for an improved understanding of the properties and behavior of the droplets and particles.
