A photochromic chiral molecule with azobenzene mesogens and a (R)-configuration naphthyl moiety (abbreviated as NCA2M) was specifically designed and synthesized for the demonstration of chameleon-like color changes responding to multitudinous external stimuli, such as temperature, light and electric field. The basic phase transition behaviors of NCA2M were first studied by the combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). Based on the structure-sensitive X-ray diffraction results obtained at different temperatures, it was comprehended that the NCA2M molecule exhibited the tilted version of highly ordered smectic crystal phase with 5.45 nm layer thickness. Chiral nematic (N) liquid crystals (LC) with helical superstructures were formed by doping the NCA2M photochromic chiral molecule in an achiral nematic (N) LC medium. By controlling the helical pitch length of N-LC with respect to temperature, light and electric field, the wavelength of selectively reflected light from the N photonic crystal was finely tuned. The light-induced color change of N-LC film was the most efficient method for covering the whole visible region from blue to green and to red, which allowed us to fabricate remote-controllable photo-responsive devices.

Highly efficient migration has been observed for soft liquid-crystalline azobenzene-containing polymer films to form surface relief gratings (SRGs). The efficient migration is probably driven by the interfacial instability at boundaries between the smecti

Paragraph 0160; 0161; 0163, (2017/11/08)
The present invention relates to a responsive chiral dye compound with enhanced solubility by having structural complementarity with liquid crystal molecules, and a method for preparing the compound. The responsive chiral dye compound according to the present invention can be dispersed in commercialized nematic liquid crystals by having excellent solubility, and can be used as an additive for producing a dye for liquid crystals and a cholesteric reflective film by not generating cohesion. The responsive chiral dye compound of the present invention can reversibly control the reflective color of a cholesteric film in a condition for applying light, heat, and an electric field, thereby being able to be used for a smart window of a vehicle or a protective camouflage film for army.(AA) Responsive chiral dye compound(S10) Step of preparing a hydrocarbon compound (R_m)(S20) Step of preparing a photoreactive mesogenic compound (PMS)(S30) Step of reacting PMS with R_m(S40) Step of reacting a chiral compound (Ch) and R_m-PMSCOPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
Liquid-crystalline polymorphism of symmetrical azobananas: Bis(4-(4-alkylphenyl)azophenyl) 2-nitroisophtalates

, p. 283 - 291 (2011/08/02)
In this paper we present a series of novel compounds, bis(4-(4-alkylphenyl) azophenyl) 2-nitroisophtalates, which exhibit nematic and banana-type liquidcrystalline phases. The alkyl chain length varies from 1 to 18 carbons. The first ten members of this series exhibit nematic phase. The last eleven compounds exhibit banana-type liquid crystalline phases. The propyl and pentyl derivatives have extra second type of banana mesophase. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
