Light-driven phenomena both in living systems and nonliving materials have enabled truly
fascinating and incredible dynamic architectures with terrific forms and functions. Recently …

The review describes the status of the studies and the recent achievements in the field of
photoalignment of liquid crystals. An update classification of photoaligning materials and …

With rapidly expanding interest in liquid crystalline polymers and elastomers among the
liquid crystal community, researchers are currently exploring the wide range of possible …

Palygorskite is a clay mineral whose structure is crossed by nano-channels (0.64× 0.37 nm)
filled by H2O and exchangeable ions. When mixed and heated with indigo it forms Maya …

This work demonstrates the feasibility of a polarizer-free, electrically switchable and optically
rewritable display based on dye-doped polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (DD-PDLCs) …

Spatially-varying director fields have become an important part of research and
development in liquid crystals. Characterization of the anchoring strength associated with a …

We present a review of the main results reported during about two decades on light-induced
phenomena in liquid crystal samples doped by the azo-dye Methyl-Red. The aim is to give a …

The adsorption-desorption phenomenon of neutral particles dissolved in an isotropic fluid is
investigated by using a nonsingular kernel in the kinetic equation at the limiting surfaces. To …

We investigate into a new type of liquid crystal (LC) heterogeneous system that contains
hydrogen-bonded polymer-azo-dye complexes at a low concentration. The suspension …

The effect of surface condition on the photoalignment of light-induced methyl red (MR)
adsorption phenomena on various substrates based on azo dye-doped liquid crystals is …
