The ordering in liquid crystals (LCs) can be influenced by an interface. Some of these
molecules adsorbed at the air‐water interface yield a stable Langmuir monolayer. They …

Langmuir films of members of two homologous series, the 4‐n‐alkyl‐4′‐cyanobiphenyls (n
CB) for n= 2–14 and trans‐4‐n‐alkyl (4′‐cyanophenyl) cyclohexanes (PCH n) for n= 2–12 …

Langmuir films composed of mixtures of an amphiphilic polymer containing azobenzene
(Az) side chain (6Az n-PVA, n being the spacer length) and a nematic liquid crystal (LC) …

Cholesterol and its derivatives have drawn much attention because of their relevance to
biology. They have also been studied at the air− water (A− W) interface. Here, we have …

We report our studies on the nanoscale electrical conductivity in monolayers of n-alkyl
cyanobiphenyl materials deposited on solid surface. Initially, the 8CB, 9CB, and 10CB …

We report our studies on the mixed Langmuir monolayer of mesogenic molecules, p-
(ethoxy)-p-phenylazo phenyl hexanoate (EPPH) and octyl cyano biphenyl (8CB), employing …

We have investigated the miscibility in the mixed monolayers of cholesterol (Ch)-octyl cyano
biphenyl (8CB) and cholesteryl acetate (ChA)-8CB using surface manometry and …

Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) films consisting of the hybrid of a polymer having the azobenzene
(Az) side chain and 4î‐pentyl‐4‐cyanobiphenyl (5CB) are prepared. Microscopic …

The spreading of a liquid drop over liquid subphase can be driven by change in interfacial
tension mediated through a surfactant, volatile solvent or photoinduced reaction. In contrast …

Sensors are ubiquitous in most of the technological devices. The field of medical diagnostics
and point-of-care devices relies on efficient biosensors and bio-analysis devices. There is …
