Abstract

In article number 2100379, Yuji Sasaki and co-workers introduce a general method for fabricating functional surfaces enabling a micropattern formation of topological defects in nematic liquid crystals irrespective of the chemical structure of compounds. Area-selective modification of surfaces using ultraviolet-ozone treatment allows to obtain highly self-organized microstructures with tunability, which dramatically improves the fabrication efficiency.
