Abstract:The effect on the physico-chemical properties of introducing the oxygen atom into the molecular structure of liquid crystals is discussed and rationalized in terms of existent theories; a comparison is made with the corresponding hydrocarbon and other derivatives.
The role of heterocycle-based calamitic liquid crystals has been investigated as potential candidates for photo-physical and opto-electronic applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
