Shape‐Changing Multiphase Microparticles from Complex Liquid Crystal Emulsions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline network (LCN) microparticles are prepared from single, double (Janus), and triple emulsions through a simple and scalable bulk‐emulsification strategy. Under heating, the particles exhibit robust, reversible, large‐amplitude deformations that depend both on the morphology and the liquid crystals director field configuration.

Design and test of a novel accelerometer made-up of an optical-fiber embedded within a polymer resin

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2015
This paper presents a transducer for an optical-fiber accelerometer based on a polarization analysis. The transducer is made up of a fiber section embedded within a resin placed between two metallic pieces.

Birefringence and polarisation dispersion measurements in high-birefringence single-mode fibres

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 1987
We have measured by white-light crosscorrelation the polarisation mode dispersion of a polarisation-maintaining single-mode fibre and its variation with wavelength. The results have been confirmed by birefringence measurements and by birefringence modelling.

Investigation of Halogen Substitution Effects in π‐Conjugated Organic Ligands of Chiral Hybrid Perovskites on Their Chiroptical Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The role of novel thiophene‐based ligands with halogen substitutions in enhancing the chiroptical and optoelectronic properties of 2D chiral HOIPs has been investigated. By tailoring ligand design, enhanced CD and CPL properties are achieved, with improved CPL discrimination in photodetectors.

An In Situ Embedded B‐MOF Sponge With Shape‐Memory for All‐in‐One Diabetic Wound Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A smart shape‐memory sponge dressing (P1A3@B‐MOF) is developed for accelerated diabetic wound healing. It achieves pH‐responsive corelease of Zn2+ and salvianolic acid B, synergistically providing antibacterial action, repolarizing macrophages to the M2 phenotype, and promoting angiogenesis.

Repetition rate difference, stability and polarization extinction ratio of single-cavity polarization-multiplexed fiber laser with weak birefringence

open access: yesResults in Physics
We investigated a stable single-cavity polarization-multiplexed ring fiber laser with weak birefringence. The feasibility of the weak intrinsic residual birefringence to induce polarization-multiplexed pulses with low repetition rate difference under ...

Temporally Delayed Deployment of Photo‐Responsive Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks Toward Neural Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Deployable medical devices typically need external stimuli to trigger deployment. However, external stimuli are difficult to supply within tissues. Here, we describe a strategy to deploy small‐scale structures into soft tissues after insertion without the need for any stimulus. We demonstrate deployment within a tissue phantom.

Examination of flow birefringence induced by the shear components along the optical axis using a parallel-plate-type rheometer

open access: yesScientific Reports
In this study, the concept of rheo-optics was applied to explore the flow birefringence induced by the stress components along the camera’s optical axis since it is often overlooked in the traditional theories of photoelastic flow measurement.
