Banana‐shaped compounds form several new smectogenic phases specific to this class.
Several two‐dimensional phases have been observed, and these can exhibit very complex …

The underlying theme of this Critical Review is the relationship between molecular structure
and liquid crystalline behaviour in a class of materials referred to as liquid crystal oligomers …

The synthesis and characterisation of several members of the 1, ω-bis (4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-
yl) alkane (CB n CB) and the 1-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-ω-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl) …

The transitional properties of three methylene-linked liquid crystal dimers are reported,
namely, 1, 5-bis (4-cyanoanilinebenzylidene-4′-yl) pentane (CN-5-CN), 1, 5-bis (4 …

This review focuses on structure-property relationships in liquid crystal oligomers, which
consist of molecules containing two or more mesogenic units linked via flexible spacers …

The synthesis and characterisation of two series of cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystal
dimers containing sulfur links between the spacer and mesogenic units, the 4ʹ-[1, ω …

In this review we consider the relationships between molecular structure and the tendency of
liquid crystal dimers to exhibit smectic phases, and show how our application of these led to …

A liquid crystal dimer is composed of molecules containing two mesogenic groups linked via
a flexible spacer. Initial interest in these materials stemmed from their ability to act as model …

In the recent two decades liquid crystal science has contributed significantly to the
understanding of mirror symmetry breaking and spontaneous emergence of chirality in …

New homologues series of liquid crystalline materials namely,(E)-3-methoxy-4-[(p-
tolylimino) methyl] phenyl 4-alkloxybenzoates (In), were designed and evaluated for their …
