This work is being done in collaboration with Professor Doug Gin. Liquid crystals can be organized to form films with a nanostructured polymer network. These structures can be cross-linked to produce ...

Dr. Fontecchio’s research involves fundamental investigations of liquid crystal interactions to develop novel devices. Using Holographically-formed Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (H-PDLC) Bragg ...

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 ...

that allows for the evaporation portion of the physics to dominate and it will force the polymers to assemble into liquid ...

Damron revealed that when they printed their films slowly, as opposed to quickly, the evaporation portion of the physics ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed a new interfacial synthesis strategy to fabricate high-performance crystalline sp²-carbon conjugated two-dimensional (2D) polymer films using ...
