“…• C Polarized microscope images at different temperatures show dark images at T = 35.9 • C. As temperature decreases, the uniform dark texture becomes gradually brighter, as Taushanoff et al also observed in their BPIII system [32]. When the temperature is lowered below T = 34.8 • C, oily streaks which are a typical defect line for the cholesteric phase appears.…”

“…Achiral bent-core dopants were also used for BP stabilization as polymers and nanoparticles did [213], and the phase temperature range was greatly widened. Jeong et al [214] reported that UV irradiation of an azo-benzene bent-core LC doped with chiral molecules leads to a photo-induced transition from BPI to BPIII, accompanied by BPIII stabilization of 20 • C. Many papers dealing with BPs and bent-core molecules have been published [215][216][217][218][219]. How to achieve uniform alignment might be still an important issue to consider for bent-core BP viable applications.…”
