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 …

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 …

The nanosegregated structures of columnar, smectic and bicontinuous cubic liquid crystals
can provide well-organized, nano-and sub-nanosized 1D, 2D and 3D channels capable of …

Ionic liquid crystals have emerged as a new class of functional soft materials in the last two
decades, and they exhibit synergistic characteristics of ionic liquids and liquid crystals such …

Static p–n junctions in inorganic semiconductors are exploited in a wide range of today's
electronic appliances. Here, we demonstrate the in situ formation of a dynamic p–n junction …

We here describe our various concepts and achievements for material science, which have
been introduced through liquid-crystalline (LC) and polymer chemistry. They have resulted …

Instead of being seen as alternative solvents and electrolytes for organic reactions, catalysis,
separation, electrochemistry, and so on, ionic liquids (ILs) consisting of discrete cations and …

Thermotropic bicontinuous cubic (Cubbi) liquid-crystalline (LC) compounds based on a
polymerizable ammonium moiety complexed with a lithium salt have been designed to …

Materials in which photoluminescence is modulated by redox processes are known as
electrofluorochromic. Intrinsically switchable fluorophores, incorporating both redox and …
