Liquid crystal polymer networks (LCNs) combine liquid crystal order with polymer robustness to yield programmable soft materials that respond to external stimuli. This review outlines how molecular d....

A light-controlled, reversible phase transition of ionic surfactant assemblies, coupled with dynamic partitioning between bulk phases and interfaces, induces rapid, and order-of-magnitude changes in ...

Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are emerging materials that combine the anisotropic self-assembly of liquid crystals with the ionic conductivity of ionic liquids, making them promising candidates for ele...
