Two achiral four-ring bent-core liquid crystals are investigated by using the optical polarizing microscope, electro-optical studies, and dielectric spectroscopy.
Design, synthesis and characterization of a four-ring achiral bent-core liquid crystal with a broad range nematic phase which can be cooled down without crystallization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
