INTERFACIAL STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF NEMATIC 4-n-PENTYL-4'-CYANOBIPHENYL LIQUID CRYSTALS ON SILVER, SILICA AND MODIFIED SILICA SUBSTRATES

The process of forcibly dewetting a solid substrate from a bulk liquid so as to leave a thin residual layer on the surface is referred to as forced dewetting. This novel experimental approach helps to investigate interfacial species by minimizing the interference of the bulk liquid when coupled with...
