n liquid crystalline elastomer materials
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit a number of remarkable physical effects, including the unique, high-stroke reversible mechanical actuation when triggered by external stimuli. This article reviews some recent exciting developments in the field of LCE materials with an emphasis on their utilization in actuator applications. Such applications include artificial muscles, industrial man...
متن کاملNew cyanopyridone based luminescent liquid crystalline materials: synthesis and characterization.
A new series of 4-(3,4-bis(akyloxy)phenyl)-6-(4-((1-(4-cyano- or 4-nitro-benzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles carrying terminal di-alkoxy chain lengths (viz. octyloxy, decyloxy, dodecyloxy, tetradecyloxy and hexadodecyloxy) as well as terminal polar groups -CN or -NO2 have been designed and synthesized successfully as luminescent mesogens. Thei...
متن کاملPerhydroazulene-based liquid-crystalline materials with smectic phases
New liquid-crystalline materials with a perhydroazulene core were synthesized and the stereochemistry of these compounds was investigated. The mesomorphic properties of the new LC compounds were investigated by differential scanning colorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. We report here on the LC properties of nonchiral materials, which predominantly exhibit smectic ph...
متن کاملSpinodal decomposition in liquid crystalline materials
The theory of phase separation m a liquid crystal by spinodal decompoSit1on is developed The time evolution of two coupled parameters, the volume concentration (or mole fraction), and the orientational order parameter is calculated The conditions for penodic fluctuations are gJven and the structure factor for spinodal decomposition is studied
متن کاملEndotoxin-induced structural transformations in liquid crystalline droplets.
The ordering of liquid crystals (LCs) is known to be influenced by surfaces and contaminants. Here, we report that picogram per milliliter concentrations of endotoxin in water trigger ordering transitions in micrometer-size LC droplets. The ordering transitions, which occur at surface concentrations of endotoxin that are less than 10(-5) Langmuir, are not due to adsorbate-induced changes in the...
