Elastomeric patterns probed by a nematic liquid crystal

Soft Janus elastomers have two surfaces with diverse characteristics. In this work, by tuning the chemical composition and the surface roughness we were able to vary the wettability of thin films (thickness of 100-200 mu m) and spheres (diameters in the order of 200 mu m to 2 mm) and evidence the mu...
