摘要：
Colloidal inclusions in thin free standing liquid crystal films are ideal model systems for 2D anisotropic dispersions. Different types of self-organization in chain and lattice structures have been observed. The orientational elasticity of the anisotropic matrix and capillary forces are the dominating interaction mechanisms between solid or liquid inclusions, the director field, and dislocations of the films. We give an overview of the progress in this field, focussing on different inclusion types and their interactions in thermotropic smectic films.
