Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, a stable twist grain boundary A (TGBA*) and blue phase liquid crystal (LC) blend is prepared by mixing an achiral-imine-type compound with cholesteryl pelargonate and 4-cyano-4’-pentylbiphenyl (nematic LC). The LC blend has five LC phases, which contain the TGBA* phase at room temperature and the blue phase as frustrated LC.
期刊介绍:
Providing a common forum for all soft matter scientists, Soft Materials covers theory, simulation, and experimental research in this rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary field. As soft materials are often at the heart of modern technologies, soft matter science has implications and applications in many areas ranging from biology to engineering.
Unlike many journals which focus primarily on individual classes of materials or particular applications, Soft Materials draw on all physical, chemical, materials science, and biological aspects of soft matter. Featured topics include polymers, biomacromolecules, colloids, membranes, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid crystals, granular matter, soft interfaces, complex fluids, surfactants, gels, nanomaterials, self-organization, supramolecular science, molecular recognition, soft glasses, amphiphiles, foams, and active matter.
Truly international in scope, Soft Materials contains original research, invited reviews, in-depth technical tutorials, and book reviews.
