Langmuir layers of a symmetric bent-core molecule with hydrocarbon end chains and two
chlorine atoms substituted on the central phenyl ring of the bent core were characterized by …

A systematic study of five different, symmetric bent-core liquid crystals in Langmuir thin films
at the air/water interface is presented. Both the end chains (siloxane vs hydrocarbon) and …

A different alternative to previous research on Langmuir and Langmuir− Blodgett (LB) films
of bent-core liquid crystals is reported in this work. A bent-shaped molecule wearing a …

Mesostructures in inversed Langmuir–Schaefer films of each of two contrasting bent-core
molecules are explored via atomic force microscopy. One of the molecules forms Langmuir …

Control of molecular orientation at the substrate surface is significant to understand the
surface science. Langmuir films of bent-core liquid crystals having alkyl chains at both ends …

Langmuir films of bent-core molecules at the air/water interface are transferred onto a solid
surface by the inverse-Langmuir-Schaefer (ILS) technique. Previous work by the authors …

The properties of the thin films of liquid crystal (LC) molecules can be governed easily by
external fields. The anisotropic structure of the LC molecules has a large impact on the …

Molecular mono-and multilayer films of a symmetric fluorine substituted bent-core liquid
crystalline (LC) compound with hydrocarbon end-chains were prepared by the Langmuir …

Bent-core mesogens (BCMs) are a class of thermotropic liquid crystals featuring several
unconventional properties. However, the interpretation and technological exploitation of …

Monolayers composed of bent-core liquid crystal molecules have recently been investigated
in regard to a possible alignment method for bulk bent-core liquid crystal phases. This paper …
