BookDOI
Intelligent stimuli-responsive materials : from well-defined nanostructures to applications
TL;DR: In this paper, anion-driven Supramolecular self-assembled materials from self-assembly of Rigid Flexible Block Molecules are described. But the authors focus on self-folding materials.
Book
Liquid Crystals Beyond Displays: Chemistry, Physics, and Applications
TL;DR: In this article, Chenming Xue and Quan Li described a light-driven chiral molecular switches or motors in liquid crystal media. But they did not specify whether the switches were driven by liquid crystal Lasers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-driven nanoscale chiral molecular switch: reversible dynamic full range color phototuning
TL;DR: A light-driven nanoscale chiral molecular switch was found to impart its chirality to an achiral liquid crystal host to form a self-organized, optically tunable helical superstructure capable of fast and reversible phototuning of the structural reflection across the entire visible region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-Infrared Light-Driven Shape-Morphing of Programmable Anisotropic Hydrogels Enabled by MXene Nanosheets
Pan Xue,Hari Krishna Bisoyi,Yuanhao Chen,Hao Zeng,Jiajia Yang,Xiao Yang,Pengfei Lv,Xinmu Zhang,Arri Priimagi,Ling Wang,Xinhua Xu,Quan Li +11 more
TL;DR: NIR light-driven shape morphing of the MXene-containing anisotropic hydrogel into various shapes is demonstrated and a four-arm soft gripper is devised that can perform distinct photomechanical functions such as grasping, lifting/lowering down and releasing an object upon sequential NIR light exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-Driven Reversible Handedness Inversion in Self-Organized Helical Superstructures
Manoj Mathews,Rafael S. Zola,Shawn Hurley,Deng-Ke Yang,Timothy J. White,Timothy J. Bunning,Quan Li +6 more
TL;DR: A fast-photon-mode reversible handedness inversion of a self-organized helical superstructure using photoisomerizable chiral cyclic dopants and a new method that allowed us to directly determine the handedness of the long-pitched self- organized cholesteric phase is reported.
