Surface Interaction of Bent-Core Liquid Crystals "Slipping on a Banana Peel"

Iglesias, Wilder G.

Abstract Details

2012, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Chemical Physics.
The main emphasis and focus of this talk revolves around liquid crystalline molecules with frustrated symmetry, molecules with a kink in the core resembling the shape of a banana. These novel materials are not only suitable and interesting for the common liquid crystal display field as fast switching candidates, but for a whole wide range of potential applications, such as: power generation, microscale actuators, optical storage devices, to name a few. Understanding surface interactions of these mesogens is a key factor in controlling and unveiling the vast potential capabilities of such liquid crystals.
