Liquid crystals, compounds and mixtures with positive dielectric anisotropies are reviewed.
The mesogenic properties and physical chemical properties (viscosity, birefringence …

For many years, considerable research efforts have been directed toward exploring the
interaction between light and matter for the prospective replacement of electronic devices …

In this paper we review the state of the art in the field of liquid-crystal tunable guided-wave
photonic devices, a unique type of fill-once, molecular-level actuated, optofluidic systems …

Liquid crystals (LCs) have become indispensable materials in everyday life, with their
applications ranging from high-resolution television displays to being a part of sophisticated …

Photo-optic materials offer the possibility of light controlled photonic devices, intelligent and
environmentally adaptive optical materials. One strategy for creating these materials is the …

In this review, liquid crystalline (LC) polyazomethines (PAZs) with aliphatic–aromatic
moieties were investigated, taking into consideration their thermal, structural, optical and …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are made of molecules and layers of small nm sizes, hence by their
nature they fall in the categories of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. Their …

Highly efficient optical diffraction can be realized with the help of micrometer-thin liquid
crystal (LC) layers with a periodic modulation of the director orientation. Electrical tunability …

In this study, we reported the synthesis of a new tribranched macromolecule liquid crystal
with triazine in the centre. The central triazine core is bonded via sequences of Sonigashira …

Weight reduction and low power consumption are key requirements in the next generation of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To communicate with an operator, a secured link …
