Measurement of electro-optical parameters of a high contrast FLC film (2008)
Journal Article
Karapinar, R., O'Neill, M., & Hird, M. (2009). Measurement of electro-optical parameters of a high contrast FLC film. Optics Communications, 282(7), 1345-1348. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optcom.2008.12.017

We have fabricated a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) film by using a novel ferroelectric mixture. The various ferroelectric parameters such as response time, spontaneous polarization and contrast ratio of the FLC film have been measured. Experimen...

Discotic liquid crystal research is now more than 30 years old, however it is still early days compared with the well-established area of calamitic liquid crystal research which dates back for more than a century. Since the 1990’s there has been grea... Read More about The design, synthesis and mesomorphic properties of discotic liquid crystals.

Influence of branched chains on the mesomorphic properties of symmetrical and unsymmetrical triphenylene discotic liquid crystals (2008)
Journal Article

A series of novel symmetrical and unsymmetrical triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystalline materials with one or six branched peripheral alkoxy chains have been prepared. These materials have been compared with analogous known symmetrical and uns...

The area of liquid crystals has received substantial research effort over the last century, particularly when the beneficial applications such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) were realised and developed. For the majority of this time, it has been c... Read More about The synthesis and properties of achiral and chiral bent-core liquid crystals.
