Figure 2. Polarized light microscopy of coaxially electrospun PVP shell and LC core fiber upon heating from ambient conditions. Thermochromic behavior, i.e. a transition from red to blue, was observed upon heating for fibers containing liquid crystal (in collaboration with Dr. Paola D’Angelo, US Army CCDC SC).
