Photoisomerization-induced stable liquid crystalline cubic blue phase.
We have succeeded in obtaining a photoinduced liquid crystalline cubic BP in a mixture of photoinactive and photoresponsive bent-core mesogens. The UV stimulus can convert N* to cubic BP through photoisomerization of the azobenzene linkages included in the photoresponsive bent-core molecule.
متن کاملPhotoreversible switching of the lower critical solution temperature in a photoresponsive host-guest system of pillar[6]arene with triethylene oxide substituents and an azobenzene derivative.
A new water-soluble thermoresponsive pillar[6]arene with triethylene oxide groups was synthesized. The pillar[6]arene showed lower critical solution temperature behavior in aqueous solution. Its clouding point was photoreversibly switched based on a photoresponsive host-guest system. The trans form of an azobenzene guest formed a stable 1:1 complex with the pillar[6]arene. Complexation increase...
متن کاملCan Light Emitted from Smartphone Screens and Taking Selfies Cause Premature Aging and Wrinkles?
Since the early days of human life on the Earth, our skin has been exposed to different levels of light. Recently, due to inevitable consequences of modern life, humans are not exposed to adequate levels of natural light during the day but they are overexposed to relatively high levels of artificial light at night. Skin is a major target of oxidative stress and the link between aging and oxidat...
متن کاملSimulation of bulk phases formed by polyphilic liquid crystal dendrimers
A coarse-grained simulation model for a third generation liquid crystalline dendrimer (LCDr) is presented. It allows, for the first time, for a successful molecular simulation study of a relation between the shape of a polyphilic macromolecular mesogen and the symmetry of a macroscopic phase. The model dendrimer consists of a soft central sphere and 32 grafted chains each terminated by a mesoge...
متن کاملPhotoresponsive Optofluidics and Light-induced Microflow
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a novel concept of photoresponsive liquid and demonstrate its applications. The photoresponsive liquid is defined as liquid whose surface tension is controlled by light irradiation. By utilizing the photoresponsive liquid, various applications, such as photoresponsive liquid lens and light-driven pump, are expected. In order to realize the concept, we have syn...
