Colloidal rods in confinement

We study colloidal rods in confinement and under flow on the single particle level using optical microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy. First, we investigate liquid crystals in confinement. A mathematical method for calculating distortion energies is developed and illustrated by applying...
