摘要：
We discuss the role of local director symmetry in the elastic interaction of micron size particles in nematic liquid crystals. Possibility of the Coulomb-like interaction as the origin of the 2D hexagonal structure of glycerin droplets in a nematic cell with hybrid boundary conditions [9] is proposed. Effect of gathering polymer drops near the regions with strong director deformations is explained.
