Drops and shells of liquid crystal (2011, background): “Instead the nematic elasticity drives the inner drop towards one of the two peripheric boojums resulting in an inhomogeneous shell thickness [106, 109, 110].”
Microswimming in viscoelastic fluids (2021, background): “Another topic of potential interest is the comparison between microswimming in polymer solutions and liquid crystals, which display non-isotropic fluid elasticity due to the director field [219,220].”
