Liquid crystals (LCs) are ordered soft materials formed by self-assembling molecules, which
combine anisotropic properties with the fluidity of a liquid. They can potentially be used as …

Chiral mesogens spontaneously form a cholesteric phase and show structural colors
through wavelength‐selective reflection. Although chiral mesogens are pragmatic materials …

ABSTRACT A series of new calamitic liquid crystals, 4-{[(pyridin-4-yl) methylidene] amino}
phenyl 4-alkoxybenzoates comprising a heterocyclic (pyridine) and two phenyl rings core …

Liquid crystals with their unique ordered mesophases and anisotropic physical properties,
such as optical, magnetic and dielectric anisotropy, have found wide opto-electronic …

An efficient route for the synthesis of hitherto unreported non-symmetric dimesogens
consisting of a cholesteryl moiety and an aromatic mesogenic unit interconnected through a …

We report an efficient and practical procedure for the synthesis of cholesterol containing
unsymmetrical liquid crystals dimers. Liquid crystalline and thermal properties were studied …

Abstract A series of 1, 3-dimethyl-5-(3, 4, 5-tris (alkoxy) benzoyl) barbituric acid derivatives
1a–4a with various chain length were synthesized by our group for the first time through the …

A series of 2-phenylbenzoxazole liquid crystals having intramolecular hydrogen-bonded
Schiff's base linkers have been synthesised. All of them exhibit liquid crystalline phase …

ABSTRACT A series of liquid-crystalline dimers containing a cholesteryl group and a
azobenzene moiety with branched allyl chain were synthesised, all exhibiting chiral nematic …

We report the occurrence of the liquid crystalline twist grain boundary phase with smectic C*
blocks (TGBC*) over a very wide thermal range (∼ 100° C) in cholesterol based liquid …
