A Generalizable Approach to Direct the Self‐Assembly of Functional Blue‐Phase Liquid Crystals (Adv. Funct. Mater. 32/2022)
Source abstract
Abstract
Blue-Phase Liquid Crystals In article number 2202721, Juan J. de Pablo, Paul F. Nealey, and co-workers establish a generally applicable method of growing blue phase single crystals. They demonstrate that chemical patterns direct the self-assembly of a variety of blue phase forming materials. The cover picture shows a close-up of the disclination structure and molecular orientation in a blue-phase single crystal near the patterned surface.
