Cholesteric liquid crystal polymer network patterns prepared by inkjet printing of inks with a fluorinated diacrylate liquid crystal

Diacrylate liquid crystals have been widely used in fabricating cholesteric liquid crystal polymer network (CLCN) patterns through various methods. In this work, a series of laterally fluorinated diacrylate liquid crystals were synthesised using fluorinated p-hydroxybenzoic acids...

Controlling Dual Reflection Bands of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Polymer Network Films via Photoisomerization and Polymerization-Induced Molecular Migration

Abstract Cholesteric liquid crystal polymer network (CLCN) films featuring dual reflection bands have emerged as promising materials for decorative and anticounterfeiting applications, owing to their unique composite structural colors. Currently, these films are commonly fabricat...

Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer-Based Single-Ion Conductor for Advanced Quasi-Solid Electrolyte Membranes

Self-assembled liquid crystal polymer networks build directional transport channels via molecular alignment, enabling efficient and ordered lithium-ion migration, while single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes improve lithium-ion transference number by covalently anchoring anio...
