Overcoming the brittleness of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a challenge for industrial
applications. To increase the mechanical strength, MOFs have been blended with polymers …

Many emerging applications, such as water-based electronic devices and biological
sensors, require local control of anisotropic properties. Lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals …

Nematic and columnar phases of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) have been
long studied for their fundamental and applied prospects in material science and medical …

We report on our latest studies on alignment of chromonic liquid crystals, a special class of
molecules which recently attracted the attention of researchers. In particular, we show a …

We study the alignment behaviour of the chromonic liquid crystal phases of sunset yellow

Unlike conventional thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals, nonamphiphilic lyotropic
liquid crystals consist of hydrated assemblies of nonamphiphilic molecules that are aligned …

The synthesis of the first chiral Ag (I) bis chelated bipyridine ionic complexes showing
chromonic liquid crystalline behaviour in water is reported. Single crystal X-ray analysis …
