چکیده
The designed aromatic amide discotic molecule with sulfonic acid groups at its periphery exhibits a hexagonal supramolecular columnar liquid crystalline phase, which leads to the achievement of anisotropic ionic conductivity through macroscopically aligning the ionic channels.

Lyotropic Ferronematic Liquid Crystals Based on New Ni, Cu and Zn Ionic Magnetic Fluids
The properties of lyotropic ferronematic liquid crystals based on new Ni, Cu and Zn ionic magnetic uids are discussed. The eÆciency of these new ferro uids in the lyotropic nematic liquid crystal doping is veri ed and compared with the conventional surfacted ferro uid lyotropic doping. It was observed that the structural characteristics of the lyotropics and ferro uids determine the good format...
متن کاملMeasurement of viscosity of lyotropic liquid crystals by means of rotating laser-trapped microparticles.
We describe a simple microrheology method to measure the viscosity coefficients of lyotropic liquid crystals. This approach is based on the use of a rotating laser-trapped optically anisotropic microsphere. In aligned liquid crystals that have negligible effect on trapping beam's polarization, the optical torque is transferred from circularly polarized laser trapping beam to the optically aniso...
متن کاملCharacterization of the phase behaviour of a novel polymerizable lyotropic ionic liquid crystal.
The development of new polymerizable lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) utilizing charged amphiphilic molecules such as those based on long chain imidazolium compounds, is a relatively new design direction for producing robust membranes with controllable nano-structures. Here we have developed a novel polymerizable ionic liquid based LLC, 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium acrylate (C16mimAcr), wher...
متن کاملSuperfluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Supramolecular, Halogen‐Bonded Anions
Unconventional ionic liquid crystals in which the liquid crystallinity is enabled by halogen-bonded supramolecular anions [Cn F2 n+1 -I⋅⋅⋅I⋅⋅⋅I-Cn F2 n+1 ](-) are reported. The material system is unique in many ways, demonstrating for the first time 1) ionic, halogen-bonded liquid crystals, and 2) imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystals in which the occurrence of liquid crystallinity is not dri...
متن کاملSelf-alignment of dye molecules in micelles and lamellae for three-dimensional imaging of lyotropic liquid crystals.
We report alignment of anisotropic amphiphilic dye molecules within oblate and prolate anisotropic micelles and lamellae, the basic building blocks of surfactant-based lyotropic liquid crystals. Absorption and fluorescence transition dipole moments of these dye molecules orient either parallel or orthogonal to the liquid crystal director. This alignment enables three-dimensional visualization o...
