    • Equilibrium Phase Behaviour of Liquid Crystalline Polymer Brushes 

      Blaber, Steven (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)
      Using self-consistent field theory of worm-like chains with Maier-Saupe interactions we study the equilibrium phase behaviour of liquid crystalline (LC) polymer brushes. In a good solvent the brush extends out normal to ...
    • Field-Orientation Coupling Effects in Nematic Liquid Crystal Cells 

      Ferguson, Jake (University of Waterloo, 2019-10-23)
      Using the continuum Landau-de Gennes model for the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) phase, we study the equilibrium behaviour of nematic cells, accounting for the coupling between external fields and nematic order. This is ...
