By photopolymerizing liquid crystal shells, their rich variety of self-assembled structures can be rendered permanent and the lifetime extended from days to months, without removing the characteristic responsiveness. If polymerization is carried out close to either boundary of the nematic phase, the process triggers the transition into the adjacent phase, to higher or to lower degree of order.
通过光聚合液晶外壳，可以使它们丰富的自组装结构永久化，并将其寿命从几天延长到几个月，而不会失去其特征响应性。如果聚合过程接近向列相的任一边界进行，该过程会引发向更高或更低有序度的相邻相的转变。
