Research at CMMPE — MaterialsThe
design, synthesis and development of new (predominantly liquid crystalline)
materials and composites plays a significant part in the ongoing research
at CMMPE. Our current research in materials development is summarised
in the following sections: |
Liquid crystalsAn
overview of the design and chemical synthesis of new liquid crystalline
materials carried out at CMMPE, including bimesogens, organosiloxanes
and blue phases. |
|
DyesDichroic laser dyes, organic/inorganic dyes, absorbative dyes |
|
Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs)Hybrid
polymer/liquid crystal materials, including: |
