Gabriel-Chemie (Gumpoldskirchen / Austria; www.gabriel-chemie.com) produces a range of masterbatches with polymer-specific carriers that achieve high marking contrast in transparent and crystal clear ...

The succession of monomer units is thus apparently random, so that this is an example of the crystallization of high-polymer molecules of geometrically irregular structure. Such a crystal can be ...

The research team synthesized optically active conducting polymers from non-optically active monomers through physical rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction field as an ...

In their study, the research team synthesized optically active conducting polymers from non-optically active monomers through physical rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction ...

Record heat and rain turned thousands of Greenland lakes brown in 2022 as they hit a tipping point and began emitting carbon dioxide. Thousands of Greenland's crystal-clear blue lakes have turned ...

The speed of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) is usually limited by the viscoelastic relaxation time, determined by the viscosity, elastic constant, and device thickness. Here, we demonstrate breaking ...

Abstract: Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) films have been widely used as an alignment layer in liquid crystal (LC) cells due to their anisotropic properties. This work uses anisotropic LCP films to ...

Electro-optic response of liquid crystals (LCs) relies on the molecular reorientation of LCs under external ... Under the planar anchoring, birefringent nematic LC droplets dispersed in the polymer ...

To reduce the light loss, this study report a new approach to enhance the optical performance of the EWD device. Selective reflection films made of polymer cholesteric liquid crystal (PCLC) were added ...
