Experimental studies on the rheology of cubic blue phases.

We report detailed experimental studies on the rheology of cubic blue phases. We observe several flow regimes within each blue phase from rheomicroscopy and small angle light scattering experiments. Both the cubic blue phases exhibit solid-like response while the cholesteric phase shows gel-like behavior.

Rheology of nematic liquid crystals with highly polar molecules.

We report experimental studies on the rheology of a few nematic liquid crystals with highly polar molecules (CCH-7, PCH-7, CB-7). The selected molecules have the same alkyl chain (-C(7)H(15)) and cyano (-CN) end group. In the core part of the molecule, CCH-7 has two cyclohexane rings, PCH-7 has one cyclohexane and one aromatic ring, and CB-7 has two aromatic rings.

Rheology of twist-grain-boundary-A liquid crystals.

We report studies on the rheological properties of a liquid crystalline analog of Abrikosov phase in type-II superconductors known as twist-grain-boundary-A (TGB(A)) phase. The TGB(A) phase shows a large apparent yield stress compared to the cholesteric (N*) phase. The storage modulus (G') of the TGB(A) phase is significantly larger than the loss modulus (G'').
