title: Drag on particles in a nematic suspension by a moving nematic-isotropic interface.
abstract: We report a clear demonstration of drag on colloidal particles by a moving nematic-isotropic interface. The balance of forces explains our observation of periodic, striplike structures that are produced by the movement of these particles.
