From water soluble mesogens to liquid crystal gold nanocomposites : synthesis and investigation of flexible chain variation in rod-shaped mesogens
A number of new liquid crystalline systems were synthesized and the liquid crystal phase behaviour was investigated. The investigation of the liquid crystal properties involved the characterisation of the neat substances by optical polarizing microscopy (OPM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)...
