Electro-Optical Properties of Inorganic Oxide/Liquid Crystal Composite Film by the Sol-Gel Process

The Electro-optical properties of a composite ceramic/liquid crystal membrane, with the dispersed liquid crystals (LCs) in the high dielectric constant inorganic oxides, were investigated. The composite membranes having bicontinuous micron structure of matrices and LCs were made by the sol-gel process via the syntheses of multicomponent sols using tetra-n-butyltitanate, barium diethoxyethoxide, methyltriethoxsilane and polyethylene glycol (PEG) for phase separation. The switching behaviors of the composite films have been observed by applying AC voltages at 1 kHz. It was also confirmed that the driving voltage of the composite film depended on the composition of the inorganic oxide matrix. The composite films of high dielectric constant were driven at an electric field under 10 kV/cm, much less than that of existing PDLC.     

Switchable columnar metallomesogens

Chiral columnar liquid crystals have recently appeared as a promising new type of ferroelectric materials. To date, all the columnar liquid crystals that have been reported to show ferroelectric switching consist of organic compounds. However, metal-containing liquid crystals open this field to a significant number of new structures and offer the possibility of adding to the ferroelectric behavior other properties inherent to the presence of metals in the structure, such as magnetism, as well as the use of new methods of characterization (EPR, synchrotron radiation, etc.). The potential of columnar metal-containing liquid crystals as ferroelectric materials has been demonstrated even though only a few organic columnar ferroelectric liquid crystals have been described. As a first approach to this type of material, this concepts article describes the results obtained with chiral metal beta-diketonates that show ferroelectric switching in the columnar mesophase. It has been shown that these materials have a helical columnar arrangement in the mesomorphic state, and a chiral superstructure has been proposed from circular dichroism studies. This type of supramolecular structure plays a fundamental role in the ferroelectric properties of these compounds. The discussion is mainly focused on the strategy employed for the molecular design, and on the interpretation of the mesophase structure and the electrooptic effect. The use of a diverse range of techniques, both those commonly used in the field of liquid crystals and those that are more specific will be highlighted, and the principles of these specific techniques are summarized together with a justification of their applicability to this study.     

Inorganic membranes and solid state sciences

The latest developments in inorganic membranes are closely related to recent advances in solid state science. Sol–gel processing, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and hydrothermal synthesis are methods that can be used for inorganic membrane preparation. Innovative concepts from material science (templating effect, nanophase materials, growing of continuous zeolite layers, hybrid organic–inorganic materials) have been applied by our group to the preparation of inorganic membrane materials. Sol–gel-derived nanophase ceramic membranes are presented with current applications in nanofiltration and catalytic membrane reactors. Silica membranes with an ordered porosity, due to liquid crystal phase templating effect, are described with potential application in pervaporation. Defect-free and thermally stable zeolite membranes can be obtained through an original synthesis method, in which zeolite crystals are grown inside the pores of a support. Hybrid organic–inorganic materials with permselective properties for gas separation and facilitated transport of solutes in liquid media, have been successfully adapted to membrane applications. Potential membrane developments offered by CVD deposition techniques are also illustrated through several examples related to the preparation of purely inorganic and hybrid organic–inorganic membrane materials.     

Reversible photo-regulation of the properties of liquid crystals doped with photochromic compounds

Photochromic reactions in liquid crystals induce re-alignments of the host molecules, accompanied by changes in the optical properties and various other properties of the materials. Since the first report by Sackmann in 1971, various combinations of photochromic compounds and liquid crystals have been studied to elicit the reversible photo-regulated changes of various properties. In this report we review the advances of this field during the past 5 years, which include the creation of mechanical functions, the regulation of novel optical properties, cholesteric liquid crystals doped with azobenzene compounds in high concentrations, the regulation of ferroelectric liquid crystals, the induction of chirality by circularly polarized light, photoresponsive chiral dopants, and the photo-regulation of the oscillation wavelength of mirrorless lasers.     

Formation of liquid crystals in the KCl-TaCl5 system

The data on the formation of liquid crystals in inorganic substances, in particular, in the chloride system KCl-TaCl₅, were presented for the first time. The obtained experimental results of differential thermal and visual polythermal analyses and electrical conductivity measurements indicated the presence of liquid crystals in this system. Important factors of the formation of liquid crystals are the existence of a congruently melting substance in the system and the existence of polymorphic modifications of this substance.

Chiral Side Groups Trigger Second Harmonic Generation Activity in 3D Octupolar Bipyrimidine‐Based Organic Liquid Crystals

The design of efficient noncentrosymmetric materials remains the ultimate goal in the field of organic second‐order nonlinear optics. Unlike inorganic crystals currently used in second‐order nonlinear optical applications, organic materials are an attractive alternative owing to their fast electro‐optical response and processability, but their alignment into noncentrosymmetric film remains challenging. Here, symmetry breaking by judicious functionalization of 3D organic octupoles allows the emergence of multifunctional liquid crystalline chromophores which can easily be processed into large, flexible, thin, and self‐oriented films with second harmonic generation responses competitive to the prototypical inorganic KH₂PO₄ crystals. The liquid‐crystalline nature of these chiral organic films also permits the modulation of the nonlinear optical properties owing to the sensitivity of the supramolecular organization to temperature, leading to the development of tunable macroscopic materials.

Star-like discotic liquid crystals

The game of molecular engineering of liquid crystalline systems via a combination of molecular architecture and functionalization of mesogens has opened interesting perspectives in the field of liquid crystals. Here we report on the synthesis and characterization of star-like heptameric triphenylenes. The discotic subunits in these molecules have been arranged in a hexagonal fashion around a central discotic core, thus leading to a new type of molecular arrangement for discotic liquid crystals. These oligomers do not crystallize and combine a well-defined structure with a discotic polymer-like processing.
