TL;DR: In this paper, several parameters for quantifying alkyl chain flexibility are examined for free, unrestricted chains as a function of temperature, and the constraints imposed on alkyls chains in uniaxial liquid crystals are modeled.

TL;DR: In this article, the three-state rotational isomeric state (RIS) model of conformer statistics is used to analyse the 16 independent dipole coupling constants measured in a recent proton NMR study of n-hexane in a nematic liquid crystal solvent by Gochin et al.

TL;DR: In this article, a copolyester of 20% hydroxybenzoic acid, 40% isophthalic acid and 40% hydroquinone, a mesomorphic polymer, was carried out under pressure and the phase behavior was characterized by the x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and high pressure DTA techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, a carrier and an optically transparent member having a build surface, the carrier and the build surface defining a build region there between, filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid, irradiating the build regions with light through the transparent member to form a solid polymer from the polymerizable fluid, and advancing said carrier away from said build surface to form said three-dimensional object from said solid polymer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a step toward a more detailed understanding of the core moiety in banana molecules in liquid crystal phases, with the goal of guiding further molecular design and characterization efforts.
