This paper reviews nearly 20 years of research related to antiferroelectric liquid crystals and
gives a short overview of possible applications.“Antiferroelectric liquid crystals” is the …

Mesomorphic behaviour of several series of materials derived from the lactic acid has been
studied and their physical properties have been compared and summarized. These …

Several new liquid crystalline chiral ester enantiomers in the (S) and (R) configuration were
designed and characterised. In order to tune their mesomorphic properties, the molecular …

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) …

Self-assembling behaviour of a few lactic acid derivatives with several ester linkage groups
in the molecular core has been studied. The molecular structure–physical property …

In search of the long-pitch orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystalline mixture with a broad
antiferroelectric smectic phase was successfully formulated. The effect of additive of …

Physical properties of the partially fluorinated compound 3F5FPhF, with hockey stick-like
molecules, were studied by complementary methods. Apart from the already reported …

Several new lactic acid derivatives containing the keto linkage group far from the chiral part
and short alkyl chains have been synthesized and characterised by polarising optical …

For the first time new type of liquid single crystal elastomers forming the chiral smectic
A*(SmA*) phase has been prepared using chiral lactic acid derivative as a co-monomer. The …

Currently, effective control of optical purity by chiral separation of (S) and (R) enantiomers
remains a relevant and highlighted task when designing new chiral organic materials in …
