Figure 34. — Particles at interfaces of ordered fluids. (a) Upon forming a rigid chain, the aggregate rotates such that the chain axis aligns parallel to the director field. Arrow indicates the direction of LC alignment. The scale bar represented by the arrow corresponds to $10 μ m$ . (b) Elastic rotation rate of a chain comprising four particles. (c) Rotations observed on the interface for chains of three, four, five, and seven particles in length. Reprinted with permission from [125].
