Journal ArticleDOI
Self-alignment of plasmonic gold nanorods in reconfigurable anisotropic fluids for tunable bulk metamaterial applications.
TL;DR: The bulk self-alignment of dispersed gold nanorods imposed by the intrinsic cylindrical micelle self-assembly in nematic and hexagonal liquid crystalline phases of anisotropic fluids results in a switchable polarization-sensitive plasmon resonance exhibiting stark differences from that of the same nanorod in isotropic fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-Controlled Colloidal Interactions in Nematic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: With the use of lithographically fabricated equilateral polygonal platelets, it is demonstrated that colloidal interactions and self-assembly in anisotropic nematic fluids can be effectively tailored via control over the particles’ shapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and in vitro characterization of a eutectic based semisolid self-nanoemulsified drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of ubiquinone: mechanism and progress of emulsion formation
TL;DR: A eutectic based semisolid self-emulsified delivery system that can overcome the drawbacks of the traditional emulsified systems such as low solubility and irreversible precipitation of the active drug in the vehicle with time is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional structure and multistable optical switching of triple-twisted particle-like excitations in anisotropic fluids
TL;DR: These localized chiro-elastic particle-like excitations--dubbed 'triple-twist torons'--are generated by vortex laser beams and embed the localized three-dimensional twist into a uniform background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional imaging of orientational order by fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the technique of fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy to image three-dimensional patterns of orientational order, which employed the property of anisometric fluorescent dye molecules to orient in an anisotropic medium.
