Stilbene Derivatives

Several series of stilbene derivatives for possible use as smart additives in polymers used as packaging films have been prepared and characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed on some of the stilbenes in order to determine any liquid crystal properties. Those compounds which had multiple phase transitions were also shown to have two liquid crystalline phases according to optical microscopy.

New Applications

Self-assembly of anisotropic nanomaterials into fluids is a key step in producing bulk, solid materials with controlled architecture and properties. In particular, the ordering of anisotropic nanomaterials in lyotropic liquid crystalline phases facilitates the production of films, fibers, and devices with anisotropic mechanical, thermal, electrical, and photonic properties. While often considered a new area of research, experimental and theoretical studies of nanoscale mesogens date back to the 1920s. Through modern computational, synthesis, and characterization tools, there are new opportunities to design liquid crystalline phases to achieve complex architectures and enable new applications in opto-electronics, multifunctional textiles, and conductive films. This review article provides a brief review of the liquid crystal phase behavior of one dimensional nanocylinders and two dimensional nanoplatelets, a discussion of investigations on the effects of size and shape dispersity on phase behavior, and outlook for exploiting size and shape dispersity in designing materials with controlled architectures.

Self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers containing cholesteryl groups has proved to be attractive in the field of nanotechnology research. Some cholesterol derivatives are known to form ordered structures which indicate thermotropic and lyotropic liquid-crystalline, monolayers, multilayers, micelles, and liposomes. This paper involves the synthesis and characterization of various kinds of amphiphilic polymers bearing cholesteryl moieties.

Methylene Groups

Compounds which have two mesogenic groups with and without terminal alkyl chains containing thiophene systems, were prepared from α.ω-bis(5-formyl-2-thienyl)alkanes (3a-3n) and various aromatic amines or 2-fluorenyl-Wittig-salt (10). The liquid crystalline properties of these compounds were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing microscopy. Only the series of α.ω-bis{5-[N-(4′-butyloxybiphenyl-4-yl)imino]formyl-2-thienyl}alkanes (7a-71) showed enantiotropic smectic and nematic mesophases. The series of E,E-α.ω-bis[5-(2-fluorenylvinyl)-2-thienyl]alkanes (8a-81) showed enantiotropic nematic mesophases for the compounds with 4 and 6 methylene groups, monotropic nematic mesophases for the compounds with 7—12 methylene groups and no liquid crystalline phases for compounds with 3, 5, 16 methylene groups in the connecting alkylene chain. In contrast to the compounds 8a-81, E-l-(5-butyl-2-thienyl)-2-(2-fluorenyl)ethylene has a smectic mesophase.
