Abstract
Self-organization of polymer dispersed nematic droplets has been observed experimentally. Self-organization is manifested in the spatial periodic distribution of drop clusters as well as in the orientational ordering of the symmetry axes of the droplet structures. The possible elastic and electrostatic mechanisms for the phenomena are discussed.Keywords
