Multiscale modelling and experimental estimation of liquid crystals parameters

In this thesis we investigate two problems: the measurement of nematic liquid crystal material parameters and the modelling of liquid crystal colloids. Specifically we have developed an optical method of measuring liquid crystal viscosities, and by combining multiple measurements of the transmitted...
