Designing interfacial structures with nanoscale (or molecular) components is one of the
important tasks in the nanoarchitectonics concept. In particular, the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) …

… liquid-crystalline group in an amphiphile, one could get enhanced order, thermal stability, and
interesting physical properties. Furthermore, the study of liquid crystals … layered, crystalline …

… These parameters affect the structure of the transferred layer since the degree of organization
in the Langmuir monolayer may be kept in the deposited LB film. The transfer process is …

… due to the radial disposition of the N* layers. In addition, a radial defect line was observed
in LC/FC/W droplets, suggesting that all N* layers follow a group of circles that pass through …

… axis of LC molecules in the layers is perpendicular to the layer planes. In the Sm B phase,
the LC molecules exhibit long-range orientational order in the layers, but their positional order …

… Liquid-crystal emulsion droplets and fibers are intriguing examples from these fields … liquid
crystals. This review attempts to outline the recent developments related to the liquid crystals …

… in Figure 4, clearly shows that no layers are needed. When assessing these images it is …
The first attempt to explain tactoid formation was presented by Langmuir in 1938 [78]. Being …

The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir–Schaefer techniques facilitate thermodynamic
favorability at an air–water interface, at which nanoscale molecular aggregations can be …

Liquid-crystal (LC)-based ultrathin flat optical elements (FOEs) exhibit several attractive
properties, such as a high degree of optical tunability, strong polarization selectivity, nearly 100…

We introduce and shortly summarize a variety of more recent aspects of lyotropic liquid
crystals (LLCs), which have drawn the attention of the liquid crystal and soft matter community …
