Effect of Hard Core Scaffolds - Molecular Boojums  

The mesophase defect textures exhibited by 47 were typical of those normally found for a chiral nematic phase, except they were only revealed upon annealing, which is probably a function of the viscosity of the material. Thus the sample was annealed just below the clearing point. After 24 h, large areas of the preparation evolved to show fingerprint defects and the Grandjean plane
