Phase behavior and properties of the liquid-crystal dimer 1′′,7′′-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl) heptane: A twist-bend nematic liquid crystal
Mirko Cestari,Mirko Cestari,S. Diez-Berart,D. A. Dunmur,Alberta Ferrarini,M. R. de la Fuente,D. J. B. Jackson,David López,Geoffrey R. Luckhurst,M. A. Perez-Jubindo,Robert M. Richardson,Josep Salud,Bakir A. Timimi,Herbert Zimmermann +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the low-temperature mesophase of CB7CB is a new type of uniaxial nematic phase having a nonuniform director distribution composed of twist-bend deformations, and calculations using an atomistic model and the surface interaction potential with Monte Carlo sampling predict dielectric and elastic properties in the nematics phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switchable Columnar Metallomesogens. New Helical Self-Assembling Systems
J. Barbera,R. Iglesias,José Luis Serrano,T. Sierra,M. R. de la Fuente,B. Palacios,M. A. Perez-Jubindo,Jesús T. Vázquez +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the columnar mesophase was investigated by optical microscopy, DSC and X-ray diffraction, and identified as a rectangular columnar (P21).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric, calorimetric and mesophase properties of 1′′-(2′,4-difluorobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-9′′-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy) nonane: an odd liquid crystal dimer with a monotropic mesophase having the characteristics of a twist-bend nematic phase
Nerea Sebastián,David López,Beatriz Robles-Hernández,Beatriz Robles-Hernández,M. R. de la Fuente,Josep Salud,M. A. Perez-Jubindo,D. A. Dunmur,Geoffrey R. Luckhurst,D. J. B. Jackson +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the low temperature mesophase exhibits the characteristics of a twist-bend nematic phase, and the nematic-to-isotropic phase transition has been exhaustively studied from the accurate evolution of the heat capacity and the static dielectric permittivity data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of piezoelectric polyimides
B. Gonzalo,José Luis Vilas,Tomasz Breczewski,M. A. Perez-Jubindo,M. R. de la Fuente,Matilde Rodriguez,Luis Manuel León +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three amorphous piezoelectric polyimides have been synthesized and characterized to analyze their utility for high-temperature applications, and they have been prepared from 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride and diamines 2,4-di(3-aminophenoxy)benzonitrile.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The higher temperature nematic phase was found to exhibit an anomaly of the bend elastic constant similar to that of the dimers with N-Ntb phase sequence, and the physical properties of the low-temperature nematics phase are similar to those of the known Ntb materials.
