Electric-Field Response of Discotic Hexabenzocoronene (HBC) Liquid Crystals

Electric-Field Response of Discotic Hexabenzocoronene (HBC) Liquid Crystals

A HBC derivative bearing six branched, space-demanding, alkyl side chains containing ether linkages has been synthesized and its thermotropic properties were investigated by polarization optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). To our surprise, this molecule can respond...
