An overview over the current state of research in the field of biaxial nematic liquid crystalline
materials is given. After a short introduction, providing some general aspects and …

Bent-core mesogens derived from 4-cyanoresorcinol with terminal alkyl chains have been
synthesized and investigated by polarizing microscopy, XRD and electro-optical methods …

In recent years, ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals have attracted considerable attention
owing to their unique properties such as a colossal polarization, high electro-optic activity …

The still undiscovered fluid ferroelectric nematic phase is expected to exhibit a much faster
and easier response to an external electric field compared to conventional ferroelectric …

We present X-ray diffraction evidence for clusters exhibiting a skewed cybotactic
supramolecular structure in the nematic phase of the butyloxy-phenyl diester, ODBP-Ph …

Abstract Four series of new 1, 2, 4‐oxadiazole derived bent‐core liquid crystals
incorporating one or two cyclohexane rings are synthesized and investigated by optical …

The recent identification of ferroelectricity within the nematic phase of liquid crystals has
triggered significant interest. However, prior to this discovery; the potential existence of …

The mechanooptical behavior of melt-cast amorphous poly (l-lactic acid)(PLA) films in the
rubbery state was investigated using an apparatus that allows for direct measurement of true …

Bent-core molecules based on a resorcinol bisbenzoate core with a series of distinct
substituents in different positions at the central resorcinol core have been synthesized and …

Spontaneous mirror‐symmetry breaking is a fundamental process for development of
chirality in natural and in artificial self‐assembled systems. A series of triple chain …
