Damron revealed that when they printed their films slowly, as opposed to quickly, the evaporation portion of the physics ...

Our research program in LC-based, nanostructured polymers is divided into three main areas. The first area is the development of polymerizable lyotropic LCs for the construction of functional, ...

Dr. Fontecchio’s research involves fundamental investigations of liquid crystal interactions to develop novel devices. Using Holographically-formed Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (H-PDLC) Bragg ...

This work is being done in collaboration with Professor Doug Gin. Liquid crystals can be organized to form films with a nanostructured polymer network. These structures can be cross-linked to produce ...
