Paper Abstract
Defects in liquid crystals have been studied over decades to disclose information and knowledge on the structure of LC
phases. More recently, LC defects have been identified as a tool to implement new physical functions useful in optical
films for polarization conversion or mechanical actuators able to adopt novel exotic shapes. In the present paper we
describe a general methodology to engineer different defect patterns by combining the use of linear photopolymerizable
polymers and liquid crystals.
