Simulation of bulk phases formed by polyphilic liquid crystal dendrimers

A coarse-grained simulation model for a third generation liquid crystalline dendrimer (LCDr) is presented. It allows, for the first time, for a successful molecular simulation study of a relation between the shape of a polyphilic macromolecular mesogen and the symmetry of a macroscopic phase. The mo...
