review liq crystal dendrimer lamellar columnar nematic phase
Abstract
A review. The supramol. organization of select liq.-cryst. dendrimers within lamellar, columnar, and nematic phases is discussed. Tuning of the mesomorphic structure can be achieved by an appropriate mol. design depending upon the chem. nature of the terminal mesogenic groups, dendritic core and dendrimer generation. High mol. wt. monodisperse dendrimers are promising candidates for the development of new liq.-cryst. materials contg. active mol. units for specific phys. properties. [on SciFinder(R)]
