Liquid crystals have been intensively studied as functional materials. Recently, integration of
various disciplines has led to new directions in the design of functional liquid‐crystalline …

The results of studies on thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers containing mesogenic
groups in the main chains of linear macromolecules or in pendant side-chain branches of …

Multistimuli responsive materials are advantageous in that they can enhance the desired
response or bypass unwanted reactions. Light is one of the most attractive stimuli since it …

One new homologous series of mesogenic bromoalkoxy terminated naphthyl derivatives
containing flexible spacers as well as azo and ether linkages was synthesized by the …

The oblique helicoidal structure is formed in right-angle cholesterics under the applied
electric field. The electric field changes the pitch and cone angle but preserves the single …

Several new binary liquid crystalline mixtures have been designed and their properties were
studied by complementary methods. It has been shown that even both pure components …

Light-responsive materials capable of undergoing photoinduced molecular transformation
are excellent candidates for energy storage. Herein, we report a promising new liquid …

The memory behavior in liquid crystals (LCs), although rarely observed, has made very
significant headway over the past three decades since their discovery in nematic type LCs. It …

To contribute to better understanding of the structure–property relationship for chiral liquid
crystalline materials a series of new liquid crystalline (LC) materials possessing several (S) …

The new compounds of thiazoldinone and triazole derivatives have been synthesized by
many steps procedure. The 4-methoxybenzo-hydrazide [II] a and benzene-1, 3, 5 …
