Main Disadvantage

Although several methods exist for the synthesis of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials, the methods are extremely complex and tedious. In recent years, the chiral host-achiral luminescent guest method and the achiral host-achiral luminescent guest method have been employed to fabricate CPL materials; however, the main disadvantage of the latter is the small luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) that limits the practical applications of the method. Therefore, this study reports on the enhancement of glum in a nano-segregated phase system, generated by the phase separation between helical nanofilaments (HNFs; originating from an achiral bent-core molecule) and a liquid-crystalline (LC) smectic A (SmA) phase (originating from an achiral rod-like mesogen). The observed glum value in the nano-segregated phase between the HNFs and LC SmA phase was larger than that in the nano-segregated phase between the HNFs and LC nematic (N) phase. The enhancement of the glum value was attributed to the order parameter (S) of the dye molecules in the SmA phase being larger than that in the N phase. Therefore, we concluded that the S value of the fluorescent dye molecules, doped into the embedded LC phase between the HNFs, strongly influenced the glum value.

Anomalous solid structures formed by a thermotropic liquid crystalline polyimide (PI-LC) were investigated by thermal analysis, polarized light microscopy and x-ray analysis. It was revealed that PI-LC should undergo a phase transition from the crystalline to the isotropic phase through the smectic or nematic phase in the temperature range 277–300 °C. The PI-LC filament extruded at 280 °C, at which temperature the polymer was in liquid crystalline phase, was formed to have a structure similar to the smectic C phase, while that extruded and melt-drawn at 310 °C, at which temperature the polymer was in the isotropic phase, had a structure similar to the smectic A phase.

Smectic A Phase

ABSTRACTThermotropic liquid-crystalline behavior of various complex salts, which are structurally simple amphiphiles without rigid cores, was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The phosphonium salts, consisting of positive phosphorus and negative chloride ions, were found to show a smectic A phase in which a homeotropic structure was formed spontaneously. It is significant that the phosphonium salts possess an advantageous feature as thermotropic liquid crystals and show a stable liquid-crystalline phase and a simple phase transition behavior in comparison with commonly available ammonium analogs. Furthermore, the introduction of divalent metal ions into the amphiphiles was revealed to result in enhancement of the thermal properties. Although the ammonium chlorides as parent compounds showed no liquid-crystalline phase (or indistinct transition behavior), the ammonium complexes possessing tetrachlorometalate ions exhibited clearly the smectic A phase in the expanded temperature range. Additionally, through the evaluation of dipolar alignment in the solid-state phosphonium assembly by second harmonic generation, it was assumed that the self-assembly can be regarded as layered polar thin films produced by two-dimensional ionic layers with an overall permanent electric polarization.
