Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors with significant advantages of high sensitivity, long-
term stability, and excellent reproducibility, are one promising technology to solve many …

This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

Since the end of the 19th century when Friedrich Reinitzer, Otto Lehmann, and others
introduced the liquidcrystalline state of matter into science, the exact connection between …

The hierarchical self-assembly of disc-shaped molecules leads to the formation of discotic
liquid crystals. These materials are of fundamental importance not only as models for the …

Fundamentally important as models for the study of energy and charge migration in self-
organized systems, discotic liquid crystals find functional application as one-dimensional …

The last five years' achievements in the synthesis and investigation of thermotropic ionic
liquid crystals are reviewed. The present review describes the mesomorphic properties …

Since the early work of Chandrasekhar and his co-workers on hexaesters of benzene
published in 1977, discotic liquid crystals (DLCs), in particular, triphenylene-based DLC …

Die meisten Menschen verbinden mit dem Begriff Flüssigkristalle sofort die Displays von
Laptop‐Computern, Mobiltelefonen, Digitalkameras und anderen elektronischen Geräten …

Ionic liquid crystals are materials that combine the classes of liquid crystals and ionic liquids.
The first one is based on the multi-billion-dollar flat panel display industry, whilst the latter …
