Our research program in LC-based, nanostructured polymers is divided into three main areas. The first area is the development of polymerizable lyotropic LCs for the construction of functional, ...
The precipitated liquid crystal particles are then stabilized by surface modification or the addition of stabilizing agents. This approach enables the production of LCNPs with well-defined sizes and ...
Various configurations, including composite polymer/IL structures, as well as the incorporation of complexation chemistry and zeolites, are being studied. We have also developed an apparatus to ...
