In this review we consider the relationships between molecular structure and the tendency of
liquid crystal dimers to exhibit smectic phases, and show how our application of these led to …

Cholesteric heliconical (CH) superstructures are capable of manipulating the photonic band
gap over an ultra-wide spectral range, making them desirable for field-stimulated soft …

In this study, new imine-based chalcone-ester liquid crystals with symmetric and
unsymmetrical alkoxy chains were synthesized and their mesomorphic behaviour was …

The thermal stability and mesomorphic behavior of a new biphenyl azomethine liquid crystal

The synthesis and characterisation of the 1-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl)-10-(4-
alkylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy) decanes (CB10O· m) are reported. This series shows a …

Currently, a new set of asymmetrical dimeric molecules with a Schiff-base at one end and a
chalcone alkali substitution by di-ether are made and their liquid crystal and fluorescence …

New non-symmetrical homologues series based on central naphthalene moiety,(E)-4-(4-

π-Extended pyrene compounds possess remarkable luminescent and semiconducting
properties and are being intensively investigated as electroluminescent materials for …

A new series of laterally fluorinated mesomorphic compounds, namely 2-fluoro-4-((4-
