Chemistry of Discotic Liquid Crystals

More about the book

Focusing on the scientific principles of discotic liquid crystals, this book explores their role in energy and charge migration within self-organized systems. It compiles essential design principles, synthesis methods, and mesomorphic properties, while detailing their applications in one-dimensional conductors, photoconductors, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, field-effect transistors, and gas sensors. Additionally, it emphasizes the hierarchical self-assembly of these molecules and their significance in nanotechnology and other innovative fields.
