“…This was considered to be due to the result of weakening of the polymer network in the templated samples that was caused by the washing out procedure as it led to a smaller restoring force. Templated chiral nematic polymeric films have also been used to detect volatile organic compounds with enhanced sensitivity [75]. In this study, it was found that a negative strain introduced on the polymeric film produced an increase in the sensitivity of the sensor up to 15 times compared to their unstrained counterparts.…”

Liquid crystal templating is a versatile technique to create novel organic and inorganic materials with nanoscale features. It exploits the self-assembled architectures of liquid crystal phases as scaffolds. This article focuses on some of the key developments in lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals templating. The procedures that were employed to create templated structures and the applications of these novel materials in various fields including mesoporous membranes, organic electronics, the synthesis of nanostructured materials and photonics, are described.
