This review presents an integrated theoretical and computational characterization and
analysis of surface pattern formation in chiral and achiral liquid crystal self-assembly and the …

This review presents theory and simulation of liquid crystal phase ordering in biological
fibrous materials, solutions, and composites in the presence of elastic fields, second phase …

A review of thermodynamic and flow liquid crystal models is presented and applied to a wide
range of biological liquid crystals (BLCs), including helicoidal plywoods, biopolymer …

Biological liquid crystalline polymers are found in cellulosic, chitin, and DNA based natural
materials. Chiral nematic liquid crystalline orientational order is observed frozen-in in the …

We present a mechanical model of the plant cell wall viewed as anisotropic two dimensional
soft matter, where a dilute dispersion of cellulose fibrils of variable orientations is uniformly …

Biological material science and engineering includes natural materials, biomaterials
(synthetics materials used in bioenvironments), and biomimetic or bioinspired materials …
