Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs), that is, ionic liquids exhibiting mesomorphism, liquid crystalline
phases, and anisotropic properties, have received intense attention in the past years …

Ionic liquid crystals have emerged as a new class of functional soft materials in the last two
decades, and they exhibit synergistic characteristics of ionic liquids and liquid crystals such …

Several current topics are introduced in this review, with particular attention to highly proton-
conductive polymer thin films with organized structure and molecularly oriented structure …

Cadmium is a notorious toxic heavy metal, that poses serious threat to human health.
Sensitive and selective detection of cadmium in cells is of great significance in poison …

The growing persistence of harmful ion or drug molecular residues has always been
considered as a matter of concern due to its importance in biological and environmental …

We have assessed the potential of light-responsive bent-core liquid crystals as candidate
materials for energy conversion and storage applications. Samples comprise two …

We report the mesomorphic behaviour, dielectric and ferroelectric properties, and
computational modelling of binary mixtures containing two bent-core liquid crystals: the so …

A series of asymmetric viologen bistriflimide salts of both short and long alkyl chains were
synthesized by the metathesis reaction of lithium triflimide salt with the respective …

We report a new family of liquid crystalline porphyrin-core dendrimers with coumarin units at
the periphery of the dendrimer. These compounds have been prepared by copper-catalyzed …

We report the dielectric and conductivity response of three materials containing bent-core
and tetra (ethylene-oxide) moieties, and their complexes doped with lithium triflate salts, as …
