Low-birefringent, chiral banana phase below calamitic nematic and/or smectic C phases in oxadiazole derivatives.
Sungmin Kang,Yuki Saito,Nobuhiro Watanabe,Masatoshi Tokita,Yoichi Takanishi,Hideo Takezoe,Junji Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: From detailed analyses of the optical texture and X-ray patterns through the transformation from well-oriented calamitic phases, the Bx phase was found to exhibit a helical structure, which arises as a frustration from the ground-state B2 phase in such a manner that the blocks of B2 layers are twisted with respect to each other in a direction parallel to the layer plane similarly to the twisted grain boundary (TGB) phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smectic liquid crystals in main-chain polymers
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembly of Liquid-Crystalline Polyamide Complexes through the Formation of Double Hydrogen Bonds between a 2,6-Bis(amino)pyridine Moiety and Benzoic Acids
TL;DR: In this article, a supersmolecular liquid-crystalline polymeric complexes derived from polyamides containing 2,6-bis(amino)pyridyl units in their main chains and benzoic acid derivatives have been obtained by the formation of intermolescular double hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible, transparent nanocomposite film with a large clay component and ordered structure obtained by a simple solution-casting method.
Kazuhiro Shikinaka,Kazuto Aizawa,Nozomu Fujii,Yoshihito Osada,Masatoshi Tokita,Junji Watanabe,Kiyotaka Shigehara +6 more
TL;DR: A flexible, transparent nanocomposite film with 57 wt % inorganic components was obtained by the simple casting of a solution of Laponite and modified organic molecules through a sol-gel reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile fabrication of transparent and conductive nanowire networks by wet chemical etching with an electrospun nanofiber mask template
Keisuke Azuma,Koichi Sakajiri,Hidetoshi Matsumoto,Sungmin Kang,Junji Watanabe,Masatoshi Tokita +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, two-dimensional aluminum (Al) nanowire (NW) networks offering transparent conductors were fabricated by simple wet etching of Al metalized polymer film using a polystyrene (PS) nanofiber (NF) mask template.
