Colloids are abundant in nature, science, and technology, with examples ranging from milk to quantum dots and the colloidal atom paradigm. Similarly, liquid crystal ordering is important in contexts ranging from biological membranes to laboratory models of cosmic strings and liquid crystal displays in consumer devices. Some of the most exciting recent developments in both of these soft matter fields emerge at their interface, in the fast-growing research arena of liquid crystal colloids. Mesoscale self-assembly in such systems may lead to artificial materials and to structures with emergent physical behavior arising from patterning of molecular order and nano- or microparticles into precisely controlled configurations. Liquid crystal colloids show exceptional promise for new discovery that may impinge on composite material fabrication, low-dimensional topology, photonics, and so on. Starting from physical underpinnings, I review the state of the art in this fast-growing field, with a focus on its scientific and technological potential.

液晶胶体

胶体在自然,科学和技术中非常丰富,其例子包括牛奶,量子点和胶体原子范式。类似地,在从生物膜到消费性设备中的宇宙弦和液晶显示器的实验室模型的范围内,液晶排序也很重要。在快速发展的液晶胶体研究领域中,这两个软物质领域的一些最激动人心的最新进展都出现在它们的界面上。在这样的系统中,中尺度的自组装可能导致人造材料和具有新兴物理行为的结构,这些物理行为是由于将分子顺序和纳米或微粒构图成精确控制的构型而引起的。液晶胶体显示出可能会影响复合材料制造的新发现的特殊前景,低维拓扑,光子学等。从物理基础开始,我回顾了这个快速增长的领域中的最新技术,并着重于其科学和技术潜力。
