Liquid Crystal Dimers and Smectic Phases from the Intercalated to the Twist-Bend
In this review we consider the relationships between molecular structure and the tendency of liquid crystal dimers to exhibit smectic phases, and show how our application of these led to the recent discovery of the twist-bend, heliconical smectic phases. Liquid crystal dimers consist of molecules co...
