This book explores the interface between liquid crystal physics, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology, with a focus on the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles. It demonstrates how liquid crystals, particularly nematic and cholesteric phases, can serve as dynamic matrices for controlling the electromagnetic coupling between nanoparticles. Through polymerization, these structures become stable and offer innovative optical properties, with applications in the fields of sensors, smart objects, plasmonics, and photonics. Through examples such as stabilized oily streaks and nanoparticle arches, this work shows how to manipulate soft matter to open up new scientific, medical, and technological prospects.
