Effects of spatially-varying substrate anchoring on instabilities and dewetting of thin nematic liquid crystal films

Soft Matter, 2020, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D0SM01416H, PaperMichael Angelo Y.-H. Lam, Lou Kondic, Linda Jane Cummings Partially wetting nematic liquid crystal (NLC) films on substrates are unstable to dewetting-type instabilities due to destablizing solid/NLC interaction forces. These instabilities are modified by the nematic nature of the... The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry
