Abstract:

"Egyptian agricultural wastes were used for preparing advanced cellulosic derivatives possessing liquid crystalline properties. Cellulose was successfully isolated in pure form from Egyptian bagasse pulp. Hydroxypropylation was carried out on the obtained cellulose and the liquid crystalline properties were investigated. The prepared hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was esterified with 4-alkyloxybenzoic acids, giving products with liquid crystalline properties. The molecular structure of HPC and a series of its esters – 4-alkoxybenzoloxypropyl cellulose (ABPC-m) – was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The liquid crystalline (LC) phases and transition behaviors were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). The lyotropic behavior in dimethyl acetamide (DMA) was investigated using an Abee refractometer, and the critical concentration was determined by measuring the refractive index of the solutions in DMA."

Abstract:

The results of experiments carried out by us on two samples exhibiting a macroscopic helical structure.While one of them shows a direct transition from chiral orientationally ordered fluid(referred to an N* phase) to a phase with one dimensional layer structure,the second sample exhibits a liquid crystal analog of the Abrikosov flux lattice of super conductors,between the N* and layered phase.The chapter compares and contrasts the differences in the behavior of the two compounds.

Abstract:

Liquid-crystalline gels and elastomers were prepared by polymerization of mixtures containing azobenzene monomers and cross linkers with azobenzene moieties. Oriented liquid-crystalline gels and elastomer films were found to undergo anisotropic bending and unbending behavior only along the rubbing direction, when exposed to alternate irradiation of unpolarized UV and visible light. In the case of polydomain liquid-crystalline elastomer films, the bending and unbending were induced exactly along the polarization direction of incident linearly polarized light. By altering the polarization direction of light, a single film could be bent repeatedly and precisely along any chosen direction.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThermotropic polymers are thermally treated in air at temperatures Ta, where ΔT =Ta- Ts→n=40°C, and Ts→n is the solid-to-nematic transition. Samples are extruded thin films of a series of thermotropic random copolyesters termed B-N, COTBP and RD1000. The thermal treatment produces a second endotherm without changing Ts→n for B-N and RD1000. However, for COTBP Ts→n is significantly increased. Regardless of the complex thermal behavior exhibited by the thermotropes, the thermal treatment produces a significant increase in Young's modulus, more than 30% for B-N and over 100% for COTBP. The increase in mechanical modulus is correlated with a thermally-induced fiber-like morphology.

Abstract:

In this study, we describe the synthesis of a cholesterol-linked cyanostilobazole salt dye and the tuning of its luminescence by physical stimuli such as electricity and grinding. The dyes exhibited liquid-crystalline properties at temperatures above 170 °C. Some of the solutions were transformed into orange luminescent gels upon the addition of poor solvents. When the solvent was evaporated, the resulting solid xerogel exhibited mechanochromism, its color changed, and its luminescent color changed from orange to red. Furthermore, we investigated the construction of functional gels (mechanochromic gels) that can respond to two stimuli, damage detection by abrasive responsiveness, and electrical response using ionic liquid complexes of polymers as dispersing media. This study provides a new strategy for tuning and switching luminescence using non-chemical stimuli in a single-component system using aggregation.

Abstract:

In-situ photopolymerization of liquid crystalline (LC) monomers has proven to be a valuable technique for the formation of well-ordered polymer networks. Their anisotropic properties led to a variety of applications in optics, electronics and mechanics. The use of light to initiate polymerization enables lithographic patterning. In addition the LC behavior enables formation of complex morphologies on molecular level. Controlling the director profile of an LC network film in transversal direction gives geometrical morphing upon minor changes in order parameter. Examples of suited profiles of molecular orientation are twisted or splayed director configurations tied up in the network configuration. Reversible order parameter changes can be induced by light using the photo-activated trans-cis isomerization of a copolymerized azobenzene monomer. This is demonstrated in photoresponsive cilia inkjet printed on a substrate. The cilia possess a splayed molecular organization and show well-controlled bending when addressed by light. We demonstrate a patterned film with alternating helicoidal and perpendicular-uniaxial molecular orientation. When applied as coating on glass, photo-activation in this case leads to a dynamically switching surface topology
