Nematic director reorientation at solid and liquid interfaces under flow : SAXS studies in a microfluidic device

In this work we investigate the interplay between flow and boundary condition effects on the orientation field of a thermotropic nematic liquid crystal under flow and confinement in a microfluidic device. Two types of experiments were performed using synchrotron small-angle X-ray-scattering (SAXS)....
