Résumé
Liquid crystal (LC) emulsions represent a class of confined soft matter that exhibit exotic internal organizations and size-dependent properties, including responses to chemical and physical stimuli. Past studies have explored micrometer-scale LC emulsion droplets but little is known about LC ordering within submicrometer-sized droplets. This paper reports experiments and simulations that unmask the consequences of confinement in nanoemulsions on strongly chiral LCs that form bulk cholesteric and blue phases (BPs). A method based on light scattering is developed to characterize phase transitions of LCs within the nanodroplets. For droplets with a radius to the pitch ratio (R
