Abstract: ABSTRACT Polymer-encapsulated–polymer-stabilised blue-phase liquid crystals (LCs) are investigated. Encapsulated droplets are formed in a polyvinyl alcohol solution by emulsification, and blue-phase (BP) LCs in the droplets are stabilised via the polymerisation of reactive monomers to… read more here.
