Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight sterilized, recyclable and super hydrophobic anti-COVID laser-induced graphene mask formulation for indelible usability
TL;DR: In this paper, Li et al. proposed a novel mechanism for further commercialization of surgical mask of photo-thermal and self-cleaning functionalization by depositing few layer ultra-thin graphene coating onto low-melting temperature non-woven mask by tempering a dual mode laser induced mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrocaloric and elastocaloric effects in soft materials.
Maja Trček,Marta Lavrič,G. Cordoyiannis,Boštjan Zalar,Brigita Rožič,Samo Kralj,Samo Kralj,Vassilios Tzitzios,George Nounesis,Zdravko Kutnjak +9 more
TL;DR: Direct eC measurements indicate that the significant eC response can be found in main-chain liquid crystalline elastomers, but at a fraction of the stress field in contrast to other eC materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smectic-A structures in submicrometer cylindrical cavities.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that smectic elasticity can cause strong deviations from the preferred surface anchoring direction and the chevron and bookshelf structures are found to be the most stable in the weak anchoring regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dimensional crossover and scaling behavior of a smectic liquid crystal confined to controlled-pore glass matrices
Samo Kralj,George Cordoyiannis,Dalija Jesenek,Aleksander Zidanšek,Aleksander Zidanšek,Gojmir Lahajnar,Nikola Novak,Heinz Amenitsch,Zdravko Kutnjak +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and thermodynamic phase behavior of the thermotropic liquid crystal dodecylcyanobiphenyl (12CB) confined in controlled-pore glasses (CPGs) has been studied by means of high-resolution calorimetry and small-angle X-ray scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational studies of history dependence in nematic liquid crystals in random environments.
TL;DR: Brownian simulation is used to study the effect of different sample histories in the low temperature regime in a three-dimensional model intermediate between SSS and RAN, and detects in the QLRO phase a domain-type structural pattern, consistent with ideas introduced by Giamarchi and Doussal on superconducting flux lattices.
