The Impact

Although the impact of individual functional groups on the self-assembly of columnar liquid crystal phases has been widely studied, the effect of varying multiple substituents has received much less attention. Herein, we report a series of dibenzo[a,c]phenazines containing an alcohol or ether adjacent to an electron-withdrawing ester or acid. With one exception, these difunctional mesogens form columnar phases. The phase behavior appeared to be dominated by the electron-withdrawing substituent; transition temperatures were similar to derivatives with these groups in isolation. In most instances, the addition of an electron-donating group ortho to an ester or acid suppressed the melting temperature and elevated the clearing temperature, leading to broader liquid crystal thermal ranges. This effect was more pronounced for derivatives functionalized with longer chain hexyloxy groups. These results suggest a potential strategy for controlling the phase ranges of columnar liquid crystals and achieving room temperature mesophases.

Electrorheological Properties

The self-assembly properties and ER effects of the Polyaniline-Poly(ethylene glycol)-Polyaniline (PAn-PEG-PAn) triblock copolymers were studied in this paper. The results indicate that with the increase of solubility parameter of the solvent, PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers form into different morphologies of spheriods, vesicles and rods. PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers with vesicles morphology show the highest polarization strength, while those with rods have the most rapid polarization rate. Among the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers of different morphologies, the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymer vesicles show the strongest ER effect.
