We have studied the response of ferromagnetic liquid crystals to external magnetic and electric fields, and compared it to the usual response of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs). We have observed effects, which are not present in a pure NLC and are a consequence of the coupling between the nematic director and the magne…

We designed a perfluorinated dopamine derivative, which, upon oxidative polymerization, formed a structurally rough film of extremely low surface energy on various substrates. The static water contact angles larger than 150° and the low water sliding angles less than 7° confirmed the formation of superhydrophobic, sel…
