Nanostructure of Unconventional Liquid Crystals Investigated by Synchrotron Radiation

Nanostructure of Unconventional Liquid Crystals Investigated by Synchrotron Radiation

The macroscopic properties of novel liquid crystal (LC) systems—LCs with unconventional molecular structure as well as conventional LCs in unconventional geometries—directly descend from their mesoscopic structural organization. While X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an obvious choice to investigate their...
