Phase separation results in spatially non-uniform distribution of polymer density controlled by the distorted nematic matrix. Director-gradient-controlled polymerization provides a new and useful technique to assemble micron-scale polymer architectures.7 pages, 4 figuresSoft Condensed MatterEffect of Director Distortions on Polymer-Liquid Crystal Phase Separationtext
