Asymmetric fluorinated dimers for dual frequency liquid crystal mixtures : synthesis, mesomorphism & electro-optic properties (2017)
Thesis
Allan, D. D. (2017). Asymmetric fluorinated dimers for dual frequency liquid crystal mixtures : synthesis, mesomorphism & electro-optic properties. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219122

Dual frequency liquid crystal mixtures are a technology used to achieve faster response times in electro-optical devices. At low driving frequencies the material acts as a positive dielectric, while at high frequencies the materials switches to a neg...

The synthesis and evaluation of ferroelectric liquid crystal host materials (2015)
Thesis
Komandla, S. R. (2015). The synthesis and evaluation of ferroelectric liquid crystal host materials. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217874

This research is based on the synthesis and evaluation of liquid crystalline host materials for use in ferroelectric liquid crystal devices. The liquid crystal materials are synthesised by incorporating silane bulky end groups linked by an alkoxy spa...

The synthesis and evaluation of nitrile-containing ferroelectric chiral liquid crystal dopants (2014)
Thesis
Reddy, V. (2014). The synthesis and evaluation of nitrile-containing ferroelectric chiral liquid crystal dopants. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216502

Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays offer fast switching times in the sub millisecond region and a high contrast ratio. There is a need for faster refresh rates to cope with fast moving images and the possibility of sequential red-green-blue illumi...

Novel chiral liquid crystal organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticle systems : Design, synthesis and investigation (2013)
Thesis
Ichim, I. C. (2013). Novel chiral liquid crystal organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticle systems : Design, synthesis and investigation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214773

A first step is taken towards the validation of organic synthesis techniques. Small molecular organic compounds were prepared as intermediates for the liquid crystal materials which exhibit room temperature cholesteric mesophases. These cholesterol b...
