On the Analogy between Electrolytes and Ion-Generating Nanomaterials in Liquid Crystals

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Nanomaterials in liquid crystals are a hot topic of contemporary liquid crystal research. An understanding of the possible effects of nanodopants on the properties of liquid crystals is critical for the development of novel mesogenic materials with ...

Study of the vertically aligned in-plane switching liquid crystal mode in microscale periodic electric fields

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
The ongoing interest in fast liquid crystal (LC) modes stimulated by display technology and new applications has motivated us to study in detail the in-plane switching (IPS) vertically aligned (VA) mode.

Evaluating the Concentration of Ions in Liquid Crystal Cells: Hidden Factors and Useful Techniques

open access: yesProceedings, 2021
Many liquid crystal devices are driven by electric fields. Ions, typically present in molecular liquid crystal materials in minute quantities, can compromise the performance of mesogenic materials (in the simplest case, through a well-known screening ...

Femtosecond x-ray diffraction from an aerosolized beam of protein nanocrystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We demonstrate near-atomic-resolution Bragg diffraction from aerosolized single granulovirus crystals using an x-ray free-electron laser. The form of the aerosol injector is nearly identical to conventional liquid-microjet nozzles, but the x-ray ...

Liquid Crystal-Tuned Planar Optics in Terahertz Range

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Recently, terahertz waves of higher frequencies compared to microwave and radio frequency have shown great potential in radar detection and high-speed wireless communication. To spatially control the wavefront of terahertz beams, various novel components,

Biological liquid crystal elastomers [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have recently been described as a new class of matter. Here we review the evidence for the novel conclusion that the fibrillar collagens and the dragline silks of orb web spiders belong to this remarkable class of materials. Unlike conventional rubbers, LCEs are ordered, rather than disordered, at rest.

A perspective on the Langmuir adsorption model applied to molecular liquid crystals containing ions and nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Soft Matter, 2022
Electrical properties of molecular liquid crystals doped with nanomaterials have been extensively studied over the past two decades. In general, nanoparticles in liquid crystals can play a dual role acting as either ion capturing agents or ion generating

Liquid Crystals Templating

open access: yesCrystals, 2020
Liquid crystal templating is a versatile technique to create novel organic and inorganic materials with nanoscale features. It exploits the self-assembled architectures of liquid crystal phases as scaffolds.

Comparative assessment of Al2O3, CuO, and Al2O3-CuO Co-doping on the structural, optical, thermal, mechanical, and gamma-ray shielding properties of Bi2O3-B2O3-K2O glass system

open access: yesNext Materials
This study compares the impact of Al2O3, CuO, and Al2O3-CuO co-doping on the structural, optical, thermal, mechanical, and gamma (γ)-ray shielding properties of the B2O3-Bi2O3-K2O (BBK) glass system.
