Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self-contained properties of discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) render them powerful functional materials for many semiconducting device applications and models for energy and charge migration in self-organized dynamic functional soft materials. The past three decades have seen tremendous interest in this area, fueled primarily by the possibility

Download or read book Liquid Crystal Dimers written by Sandeep Kumar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers in-depth discussion of design principles, synthesis and thermal behavior of all types of liquid crystal (LC) dimers. The text presents recent advances in the field of LC dimers consisting of different mesogenic units such as calamitic, discotic and bent-core molecules. It starts with a chapter on the introduction of liquid crystal dimers, including their odd-even behavior, basic classification of dimers and common mesophases in dimers. The text shows how the molecular architectures are being used to develop new materials to study a range of interesting phenomena such as the biaxial nematic phase containing rod-like and disc-like mesogenic units. Finally, the text presents perspectives related to technological relevance of these dimers such as dopants in LC display mixtures exhibiting faster relaxation time, strong flexoelectric coupling and others to effect control over the properties of these materials.

Book Design And Synthesis Of Novel Organic Materials For Liquid Crystal Applications

Download or read book Design And Synthesis Of Novel Organic Materials For Liquid Crystal Applications written by Pawan Nepal and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid crystals (LCs) show unique optical and physical properties, and so these compounds are attractive for many applications, including displays, sensors, reconfigurable mirrors, photonic devices, etc. [1-5]. Due to the cost and performance limitations of devices based on existing LC materials, it is essential to develop novel systems that are cost-effective and with enhanced performance. Also, it is crucial to explore the properties of these soft matter materials with respect to the molecular modifications to better understand their broad applicability. This is especially the case if the phase types involved are recently discovered. Many chiral dopants required for cholesteric preparations are either obtained from conventional chemical synthesis or from plant extracts. So, in search for novel dopants which are of biological origin and are relatively cheaper to produce in large volume, a study has been carried out to develop chiral compounds made from the fermentation derived bio-precursors. Likewise, the recently discovered nematic ferroelectric (NF) LCs [6] have not yet gained practical utility though they have potential to be applied in next generation displays and optoelectronic devices. Although these NF LCs show response towards ultra-small driving voltage ~1V/cm [7], the realistic applications are limited due to their current shortcomings such as monotropic LC phase, high temperature phase transition, thermochemical instability, etc. Thus, to develop novel improved systems and to seek their pragmatic applications, a variety of unique NF LCs have been synthesized and studied. Similarly, to explore the synthetic challenges and the properties related to their structural features, several classic compounds such as cyanobiphenyls (CBs), CB dimers, and triphenylene discotics have been prepared and examined.
