Phase separations in the mixtures of a mesomorphic polymer with a low molecular mass liquid crystal
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 We have studied the phase diagram of a binary system, constituted with a side-chain mesomorphic polymer and a monomer liquid crystal, very similar to the mesogenic groups in the polymer. The main results is the existence of a gap of miscibility in the nematic state, leading to the coexistence, at a same temperature, of two nematic phases. J.

Theory of polymer-dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals.
A mean field theory is presented to describe cholesteric phases in mixtures of a polymer and a cholesteric liquid crystal. Taking into account an anisotropic coupling between a polymer and a liquid crystal, we examine the helical pitch, twist elastic constant, and phase separations. Analytical expressions of the helical pitch of a cholesteric phase and the twist elastic constant are derived as ...
متن کاملPhase diagrams of mixtures of a polymer and a cholesteric liquid crystal under an external field.
We present a mean field theory to describe phase behaviors in mixtures of a polymer and a cholesteric liquid crystal under an external magnetic or electric field. Taking into account a chiral coupling between a polymer and a liquid crystal under the external field, we examine twist-untwist phase transitions and phase separations in the mixtures. It is found that a cholesteric-nematic phase tran...
متن کاملColloquium: Laws controlling crystallization and melting in bulk polymers
After the fundamental structure of semicrystalline polymers—platelike crystallites with thicknesses in the nanometer range, embedded in a liquid matrix—was discovered in the late 1950s, attention turned to the mechanism of formation. After intense controversial discussions, an approach put forward by Hoffman and Lauritzen prevailed and was broadly accepted. The picture envisaged by the treatmen...
متن کاملSynthesis and mesomorphic properties of rigid-core ionic liquid crystals.
Ionic liquid crystals combine the unique solvent properties of ionic liquids with self-organization found for liquid crystals. We report a detailed analysis of the structure-property relationship of a series of new imidazolium-based liquid crystals with an extended aromatic core. Investigated parameters include length and nature of the tails, the length of the rigid core, the lateral substituti...
متن کاملDetection of Polymer Brushes developed via Single Crystal Growth
Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
