Design, Synthesis and Characterization of Achiral Unsymmetrical Four-ring based Hockey-stick Shaped Liquid Crystals: Structure-Property relationship

Varsha Jain et al.

Summary: Hockey-stick-shaped liquid crystals exhibit unique physical properties such as promising ferroelectric-like switching and large flexoelectricity. The addition of polar moieties can lead to the development of permanent dipole moment in molecules, affecting the phase structure and physical properties.

Density-orientation coupling for a microcontinuum approach to nematic liquid crystals subject to electric field

Maurizio Romeo

Summary: This study examines a microcontinuum description of compressible liquid crystals with a constitutive model based on mass microdensity. It discusses the effectiveness of micropolar theory on compressible continua, the consistency of classical constitutive models for compressible nematic liquid crystals, and the coupling of density distribution with molecular orientation in a static problem.

How Far Can We Push the Rigid Oligomers/Polymers toward Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals?

Jinxing Li et al.

Summary: The emerging ferroelectric nematic (N-F) liquid crystal is a novel 3D-ordered liquid exhibiting macroscopic electric polarization. Through precision synthesis of aromatic rod-shaped mesogens, the mu value of the N-F materials can be increased beyond 30 Debye, and the ferroelectric packing of oligomer/polymer rods offers new insights in liquid crystal polymer materials.

Effect of π-conjugation units on the liquid crystal and photovoltaic performance of heterocyclic pyridine-based compounds

Ran Chen et al.

Summary: A series of new calamitic liquid crystals were synthesized and characterized, with the structure, properties, and photovoltaic performance investigated. Thienyl units were found to benefit photovoltaic performance, while negatively impacting the stability of nematic mesophase and birefringence. The study also utilized DFT calculations to correlate experimental findings.
