4D Printing of Liquid Crystals: What's Right for Me?
- Materials ScienceAdvanced materials
- 2021
Select works are compared and analyzed to come to a didactical overview of the liquid crystal-additive manufacturing junction, and researchers already experienced in either liquid crystals or additive manufacturing are encouraged to scan through the text to see how they can incorporate additive manufacturing or liquid crystals into their own work.
A hypothesis for the architecture of plant secondary cell walls, involving liquid crystalline arrays of microtubules in the cortex of the cell
- Computer ScienceLiquid Crystals
- 2021
A mechanism for the initial alignment of microtubules, in terms of the liquid crystalline state of the cortex, is proposed, which can override the autonomous process and explain how the production of complex detailed multi-layer alignment patterns of secondary walls is orchestrated.
