Self-assembly of fractal liquid crystal colloids

Self-assembly of fractal liquid crystal colloids

Topological defects in liquid crystals can drive the assembly of colloidal inclusions. Here the authors place water droplets of different sizes in a larger nematic liquid crystal drop and observe the formation and self-assembly of fractal colloidal structures.
