LCNPs can also be incorporated into polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films for smart windows and privacy screens. LCNPs are promising candidates for controlled drug delivery and theranostic ...

Our research program in LC-based, nanostructured polymers is divided into three main areas. The first area is the development of polymerizable lyotropic LCs for the construction of functional, ...

A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed.
