摘要：

The director-field of a nematic liquid crystal droplet is captured by a polymer network. The anisotropic polymer network is formed by photopolymerizing a small amount of monomer (2 wt %) in a nematic solvent suspended in a glycerin matrix. The glycerin matrix enforces parallel surface anchoring and a lecithin dopant is used to promote homeotropic surface anchoring. Polymer networks formed under these surface conditions as well as under applied electric fields are characterized with optical polarizing microscopy.
