Self-propelled motion switching in nematic liquid crystal droplets in aqueous surfactant solutions

The self-propelled motions of micron-sized nematic liquid crystal droplets in an aqueous surfactant solution have been studied by tracking individual droplets over long time periods. Switching between self-propelled modes is observed as the droplet size decreases at a nearly constant dissolution rat...
