Trabajo presentado al "Emerging Liquid Crystal Technologies VIII" celebrado en California (US) del 2 al 5 de marzo de 2013.Defects in liquid crystals have been studied over decades to disclose information and knowledge on the structure of LC phases. More recently, LC defects have been identified as a tool to implement new physical functions useful in optical films for polarization conversion or mechanical actuators able to adopt novel exotic shapes. In the present paper we describe a general methodology to engineer different defect patterns by combining the use of linear photopolymerizable polymers and liquid crystals.We thank the Dutch NWO (VICI grant), the Spanish MINECO project MAT2011-27978-C02-02, CSIC project i-LINK0394, Gobierno de Aragón, and FEDER funding (EU) for their financial support.Peer Reviewe
