“…[189][190][191] Metal coordination is also an important tool for the construction of new mesogenic structures, such as metallomesogens and supramolecular polymers. [192][193][194] However, we do not describe these materials herein because several reviews have already summarized these fields. [186,188,192,193] In this Section, several unconventional molecular shapes and their self-assembly behavior are described: cones, [195][196][197] shuttlecocks, [198,199] dendrimers/dendrons, [189][190][191][200][201][202] rod-dendrons, [203] and rings [204] (Figure 3).…”

Functional Liquid‐Crystalline Assemblies: Self‐Organized Soft Materials

In the 21st century, soft materials will become more important as functional materials because of their dynamic nature. Although soft materials are not as highly durable as hard materials, such as metals, ceramics, and engineering plastics, they can respond well to stimuli and the environment. The introduction of order into soft materials induces new dynamic functions. Liquid crystals are ordered soft materials consisting of self-organized molecules and can potentially be used as new functional materials for electron, ion, or molecular transporting, sensory, catalytic, optical, and bio-active materials. For this functionalization, unconventional materials design is required. Herein, we describe new approaches to the functionalization of liquid crystals and show how the design of liquid crystals formed by supramolecular assembly and nano-segregation leads to the formation of a variety of new self-organized functional materials.

[189][190][191] Auch die Koordination an Metallionen erzeugt neue mesogene Strukturen wie Metallomesogene und supramolekulare Polymere, [192][193][194] die bereits das Thema von Übersichten waren. [186,188,192,193] In diesem Abschnitt wird die Selbstorganisation einiger unkonventioneller Molekülformen beschrieben: Kegel-, [195][196][197] Federball-, [198,199] Dendrimer/Dendron-, [189][190][191][200][201][202] Stab/ Dendron- [203] und Ringform (Abbildung 3).…”

Funktionelle flüssigkristalline Aggregate: selbstorganisierte weiche Materialien

2005

Dynamische weiche Materialien werden im 21. Jahrhundert an Bedeutung gewinnen. Zwar sind diese Funktionsmaterialien nicht so beständig wie Metalle, Keramiken oder Plastik, dafür reagieren sie aber gut auf externe Reize. Geordnete weiche Materialien können dynamische Funktionen erfüllen. Flüssigkristalle aus selbstorganisierten Molekülen sind ein Beispiel hierfür: Sie eignen sich möglicherweise zum Elektronen‐, Ionen‐ oder Stofftransport sowie als sensorisch, katalytisch, optisch oder biologisch aktive Materialien. Um diese Funktionen auszuschöpfen, benötigt man unkonventionelle Materialentwürfe. Hier beschreiben wir aktuelle Ansätze zur Funktionalisierung von Flüssigkristallen und zeigen, wie das Design von Flüssigkristallen durch supramolekulare Aggregation und Nanophasentrennung zu einer Vielfalt selbstorganisierter Funktionsmaterialien führt.

“…Supramolecular cubic phases, including the Ia3d structure, have also been seen in studies of thermotropic cubic LC systems [13] based on, e.g., polycatenar [14] and dendrimer [15] molecules. These are solvent-free systems based on highly functionalised molecules comprising flexible and rigid units arranged to promote a variety of molecule shapes (cone, rod+coil, shuttlecock, .…”
