title: Coaxial electrospinning of microfibres with liquid crystal in the core.
abstract: Liquid crystal containing composite fibres were produced via coaxial electrospinning, demonstrating that this technique can be used for producing new functional fibres and/or to study the impact of extreme confinement on liquid crystal phases.
