Molecular heterogeneity drives reconfigurable nematic liquid crystal drops
With few exceptions, polydispersity or molecular heterogeneity in matter tends to impede self-assembly and state transformation(1–3). Here we report shape transition studies of nematic liquid crystal oligomer (NLCO) drops, which reveal, surprisingly, that molecular heterogeneity in the drops promote...
