Phase transitions in complex functional liquid crystals—The entropy effect

Liquid crystal design and synthesis are being driven towards always more complexity. The self-assembly of poly- and shape-amphiphiles allow tailoring the soft material structures with double and even triple nanosegregation of functional building blocks. Alignment of the anisotropic liquid crystal is...
