It’s long been established that retained fiber length has a direct impact on mechanical properties of composites. Shown above, flexural modulus is plotted against notched Charpy impact strength for a ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Researchers developed a bifocal lens based on two layers of liquid crystal (LC) structures. The intensities for the two focal lengths can be easily adjusted by applying external voltage. WASHINGTON — ...

New research published in Nature reveals that, when cooled, droplets containing chain-like liquid crystal molecules transform from spheres into complex shapes such as flowers, corals, and fibrous ...

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...
