Design of Chemoresponsive Soft Matter Using Hydrogen-Bonded Liquid Crystals

Soft matter that undergoes programmed macroscopic responses to molecular analytes has potential utility in a range of health and safety-related contexts. In this study, we report the design of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) composition that forms through dimerization of carboxylic acids and responds...
