Abstract:

Fine needlelike crystals of C60 have been formed by a liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation method which uses an interface of the concentrated toluene solution of C60/isopropyl alcohol. The needlelike crystals of C60 with a diameter of submicrons (“C60 nanowhiskers”) were found to be single crystalline and composed of thin slabswith a thickness of about 10 nm. The intermolecular distance of the C60 nanowhiskerswas found to be shortened along the growth axis as compared with the pristine C60crystals, indicating a formation of strong bonding between C60 molecules. TheC60 nanowhiskers are assumed to be polymerized via the “2 + 2” cycloaddition inthe close-packed [110]c direction.

Abstract:

In this paper we analyze the influence of the photopolymerization process on propagation properties of photonic crystal fiber infiltrated with liquid crystal doped with a mixture of reactive monomer and photoinitiator. The obtained results showed changes in photonic band gap of the fiber due to refractive index change of the liquid crystal mixture caused by the polymerization process. Moreover, the research demonstrated the possibility of preserving the desired molecular orientation of liquid crystal initially stabilized by placing the sample in the external electric field. This was achieved by simultaneously irradiating the sample and controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules with the electric field. The spectral analysis of the polymerized sample showed no visible difference in propagation spectra when the electric field was turned off after the process was finished. Full Text: PDF ReferencesK.

Full text

Abstract:

We propose a deformable photonic crystal that exhibits the thermal-mediative shape memory effect. The chiral liquid crystalline polymeric scaffold, which produces the structural colors from a helical twist of the liquid crystal director, is prepared through phase-stabilization of a reactive mesogen in a small molecular chiral liquid crystal (CLC), polymerization, and removal of the CLC. The prepolymer of polyurethane acrylate (PUA) is then infiltrated in the prepared scaffold and subsequently photo-polymerized to form a CLC-PUA composite film. Upon compression, this film shows the blue shift of the structural color and retains this color-shift as released from compression. As the temperature increases, the color is recovered to a pristine state. The concept proposed in this study will be useful for designing mechanochromic soft materials.

Abstract:

AbstractWe report 3D colloidal self-assembly (crystallization) of poly(ionic liquid) latexes to produce crystals that exhibit reversible melting and recrystallization in water, due to “classical” interparticle interactions, typical of multifunctional polymers. These new materials are derived from an ionic liquid monomer that is polymerized at room temperature by redox-initiated polymerization. Particle synthesis, self-assembly, thermal properties, and introductory light diffraction effects are reported with a focus on melting. These crystals are distinguishable from classical colloidal crystalline arrays, and are the first such crystals to exhibit thermal melting. This new hydrogel offers promise for engineering large volume production of photonic crystals active in the visible and proximal spectral regions, by crystallization from suspension (solution), characteristic of most useful chemical compounds.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe demonstrate a stabilized liquid crystal photoalignment using a surface-localized polymer method. A protection layer is developed on a photoalignment layer (PAL) through phase separation of a mixture composed of reactive monomers (RMs) and liquid crystals (LCs). The RM is polymerized on the PAL which enhances its stability against heat and light with short wavelength. The effects of the concentration and molecular structure of RMs on the electro-optical response and surface anchoring of photoaligned LC device are studied. The concentration of RMs affects the effective cell gap of the LC device. The rigid core length of the RM structure modulates the surface anchoring strength of the alignment layer. Both effective cell gap and surface anchoring strength are key elements for the enhanced dynamic response of LC devices.

Abstract:

Using swollen liquid crystals (SLCs) as a soft template, different polyindole nanostructures having different morphology have been synthesized successfully at different temperatures. The SLCs containing indole ring was formed by a quaternary system containing cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant, brine, indole:cyclohexane mixture as oil phase and 1-pentanol as co-surfactant. The indole containing mesophases were polymerized using ammonium persulfate as an oxidant and further nanocomposites were extracted from the mesophases. Finally, the extracted and processed samples were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques. The electrochemical properties of polyindole nanostructures were also investigated using cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract:

First discovered in surfactant-water liquid crystalline systems, so-called ‘bicontinuous cubic phases’ have the property that hydropnilic and lipophilic microdomains form interpenetrating networks conforming to cubic lattices on the scale of nanometers. Later these same structures were found in star diblock copolymers, where the simultaneous continuity of elastomeric and glassy domains gives rise to unique physical properties. Today it is well-established that the symmetry and topology of such a morphology are accurately described by one of several triply-periodic minimal surfaces, and that the interface between hydrophilic and hydrophobic, or immiscible polymer, domains is described by a triply-periodic surface of constant, nonzero mean curvature. One example of such a dividing surface is shown in figure 5.The study of these structures has become of increasing importance in the past five years for two reasons:1)Bicontinuous cubic phase liquid crystals are now being polymerized to create microporous materials with monodispersed pores and readily functionalizable porewalls; figure 3 shows a TEM from a polymerized surfactant / methylmethacrylate / water cubic phase; and2)Compelling evidence has been found that these same morphologies describe biomembrane systems in a wide range of cells.

Abstract:

Nematic chiral liquid crystals (CLCs) are characterized by a helical arrangement of nematic LC molecules. A layer of CLC typically exhibits an optical reflection band due to Bragg reflection in the helical structure. When several layers of CLC are spin-coated and polymerized on top of each other without a barrier layer in between, defect modes can form in their reflection spectrum. By comparing experimental results and simulations, we investigate the origin of the defect modes, thereby revealing details on the behavior of the materials at the interfaces during deposition. Simulations show that these defect modes can originate from the migration of chiral dopant leading to a layer with a smaller pitch or from a discontinuity in the director orientation at the interface between two layers.

Abstract:

Azobenzene is one of the most investigated photo-responsive liquid crystalline molecules. It can isomerize between two different isoforms, trans (E) and cis (Z) configurations, when stimulated by light. It is used as a molecular engine in photo-mobile materials (PMPs). The use of liquid crystals (LCs) as building blocks enhances the mechanical properties of the PMPs. It is not easy to obtain PMPs with monodomain configurations when the LCs are 100% azobenzene. In this work, we studied three LC mixtures, describing the thermo/mechanical phenomena that regulate the actuation of such materials. The nematic temperature of the LC elastomers was measured and the PMPs carefully characterized for their bending and speed capability. Our finding suggests that the ratio between linear and cross-linker monomer greatly influences the nematic temperature of the mixture. Furthermore, 100% azobenzene materials polymerized using dicumyl peroxide can be useful to design polarization-selective switches.

Abstract:

We report that polymerization makes a robust, practically applicable multifunctional optical device with a continuous wavelength tunable over 500 nm spectral range using UV-polymerizable cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). It can be used as a circular polarizer generating an extremely high degree of circularly polarized light with |g| = 1.85~2.00. It can also be used for optical notch filters, bandwidth-variable (from ~28 nm to ~93 nm) bandpass filters, mirrors, and intensity-variable beam splitters. Furthermore, this CLC device shows excellent stability owing to the polymerization of CLC cells. Its performance remains constant for a long time (~2 years) after a high-temperature exposure (170 °C for 1 h) and an extremely high laser beam intensity exposure (~143 W/cm2 of CW 532 nm diode laser and ~2.98 MW/cm2 of Nd: YAG pulse laser operation for two hours, respectively). The optical properties of polymerized CLC were theoretically analyzed by Berreman’s 4 × 4 matrix method. The characteristics of this device were significantly improved by introducing an anti-reflection layer on the device. This wavelength-tunable and multifunctional device could dramatically increase optical research efficiency in various spectroscopic works. It could be applied to many instruments using visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Abstract:

Direct laser writing (DLW) in liquid crystals (LCs) enables a range of new stimuli-responsive functionality to be realized. Here, a method of fabricating mechanically tunable diffraction gratings in stretchable LC gels is demonstrated using a combination of two-photon polymerization direct laser writing (TPP-DLW) and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Results are presented that demonstrate the fabrication of a diffraction grating that is written using TPP-DLW in the presence of an electric field in order to align and lock-in the LC director in a homeotropic configuration. The electric field is subsequently removed and the surrounding regions of the LC layer are then exposed to UV light to freeze-in a different alignment so as to ensure that there is a phase difference between the laser written and UV illuminated polymerized regions. It is found that there is a change in the period of the diffraction grating when observed on a polarizing optical microscope as well as a change in the far-field diffraction pattern when the film is stretched or contracted. These experimental results are then compared with the results from simulations. The paper concludes with a demonstration of tuning of the far-field diffraction pattern of a 2-dimensional diffraction grating.

Abstract:

Lead phosphate glasses have been investigated for decades with respect to fundamental glass properties such as glass transition, devitrification, electrical and optical properties. In these glasses, [PO4] tetrahedra, (like [SiO4] tetrahedra in silicates) can link up together by corner sharing oxygen atoms to form polymerized structures upto and including three dimensional glassy networks. Although, little electron diffraction data on amorphous phosphates is available, radial distribution functions have been generated for lime phosphate glasses and amorphous aluminum phosphates using x-ray diffraction techniques. More recently, Sales et al. have examined near surfaces of single crystals of lead pyrophosphate (Pb2P2O7), rendered aperiodic (metamict) by ion implantation, and lead pyrophosphate glass using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), making use of the fact that condensed phosphates do not alter their state of polymerization when dissolved in aqueous solutions.In our studies, single crystals of Pb2P2O7 were found to be beam stable under 200 keV TEM electrons to an electron fluence > 1027 e/m2 and an ionizing dose > 1014 Gy. This negative radiolytic result leaves ballistic displacement by ions or neutrons as the only route to render the samples metamict.

Abstract:

Abstract Display characteristics have a fairly strong dependence on the configuration of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules and interactions between the LC molecules and the alignment layer surface. To obtain LC devices with a fast response, the usage of reactive mesogens (RMs) have been studied. RMs polymerize in the vicinity of the alignment layer. We assessed the effectiveness of linearly polarized UV light for polymer formation. Three kinds of UV light, namely (i) non-polarized (ii) parallel to, and (iii) perpendicular to the rubbing direction, were used to irradiate LC cells with RM concentrations of 5 wt% and 10 wt%. For both RM concentrations, LC devices using LPUV parallel to the rubbing direction yielded the shortest decay times. SEM observation revealed that the fibrils polymerized linearly in the same direction on using LPUV parallel to the rubbing direction. The decay time was presumably shortened by the strong anchoring force and high alignment ability of the linear fibrils.

Abstract:

In aqueous media, liquid crystalline droplets typically form spherical shapes in order to minimize surface energy. Recently, non-spherical geometry has been reported using molecular self-assembly of surfactant-stabilized liquid crystalline oligomers, resulting in branched and randomly oriented filamentous networks. In this study, we report a polymerization of liquid crystalline polymeric fibers within a micro-mold. When liquid crystal oligomers are polymerized in freely suspended aqueous media, curvilinear and randomly networked filaments are obtained. When reactive liquid crystalline monomers are oligomerized in a micro-channel, however, highly aligned linear fibers are polymerized. Within a top-down microfabricated mold, a bottom-up molecular assembly was successfully achieved in a controlled manner by micro-confinement, suggesting a unique opportunity for the programming architecture of materials via a hybrid approach.

Abstract:

Polymerization shrinkage and associated stresses are the main reasons for dental restorative failure. We developed a series of liquid crystal diacrylates and dimethacrylates which have markedly low polymerization shrinkage. In order to fully understand the effects of temperature-induced changes of molecular order on the photopolymerization process and performance properties of the generated polymers, the photopolymerization of a difunctional acrylate, 2-t-butyl-1,4-phenylene bis (4-(6-(acryloyloxy)hexyloxy)benzoate), which exists in the nematic liquid crystalline phase at room temperature, was investigated as a function of photopolymerization temperature over the nematic to isotropic range. Morphological studies suggested that a mesogenic phase was immediately formed in the polymer even if polymerization in thin films occurred above the nematic-to-isotropic (N→I) transition temperature of the monomer (Tn-i = 45.8 °C). Dynamic mechanical analysis of 2 × 2 mm cross-section bar samples polymerized at 60 °C showed reduced elastic moduli, increased glass transition temperature and formation of a more crosslinked network, in comparison to polymers formed at lower polymerization temperatures. Fractography analysis showed that polymers generated from the nematic liquid crystalline phase underwent a different fracture pattern in comparison to those generated from the isotropic phase. Volumetric shrinkage (2.2%) found in polymer polymerized from the nematic liquid crystalline phase at room temperature was substantially less than the 6.0% observed in polymer polymerized from an initial isotropic phase at 60 °C, indicating that an organized monomer can greatly contribute to reducing cure shrinkage.

Abstract:

In this study, we proposed an electro-rheological fluid-aided polisher (ERAP) using one-sided, patterned electrodes. The characteristics of ER fluid and ER fluid containing abrasive grit were investigated. The polishing performances of ER fluids with and without abrasive grit employing ERAP were verified and the following conclusions were obtained. Decreases in viscosity and in the ER effect were observed when highly polymerized liquid crystal (hereafter referred to as HPLC) was diluted with silicon oil. However, the mixing of abrasive grit increases the ER effect, but the ER effect of ER fluid containing abrasive grit decreased when mixed with abrasive grit. The viscosity decreased with increases in aliphatic saturated cyclic hydrocarbon oil (hereafter referred to as NCDM) mixed in highly polymerized compound (one kind of HPLC). The larger the positive dielectric anisotropy, the larger the ER effect in low-polymerized liquid crystal (hereafter referred to as LPLC). The smaller the grit size, the weaker the ER effect. When polished with HPLC, the polished surface was rough due to the large viscosity of an HPLC:silicon oil ratio of 4:14 mixed with #2000WA. However, the smallest surface roughness was attained at 0.5kV/mm for an HPLC:silicon oil ratio of 1:17 mixed with #2000WA. The surface quality was improved at an HPLC: silicon oil ratio of 1:17 mixed with #3000WA. When polished with LPLC, the surface roughness was improved by the increased ER effect when LPLC having a positive dielectric anisotropy was used. However, the surface roughness showed no change when LPLC with a negative dielectric anisotropy was used, due to its small ER effect.
