摘要：

We present Monte Carlo simulations of nematic droplets with toroidal boundary conditions (TBC) and various anchoring strengths and we investigate the orientational order and the molecular organizations in these systems that mimic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC). PACS: 02.50 Monte Carlo studies PACS: 61.30.Jf Defects in liquid crystals PACS: 61.30.Gd Orientational order of liquid crystals PACS: 64.70.M Liquid Crystals phase transitions.
