Camurus (OTC:CAMRF) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) entered into a collaboration and license agreement. This agreement grants Lilly exclusive, worldwide rights to research, develop, manufacture, ...
Abstract: Liquid crystal (LC) is an anisotropic liquid material, which flows like a liquid, but at the same time, its molecules have an orientational order like in the solid state. Thus, LC is a ...
The strategies for such development can be roughly classified into two groups: the introduction of liquid-crystalline properties into zwitterions and the design of block copolymers with ...
Here we demonstrate a novel guest–host chiral nematic liquid crystal film composed of bulk self-co-assembly of the dispersed plasmonic silver nanowires (AgNWs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The ...
Results demonstrated that differences between thermal stability and degradation mechanisms might be associated with differences in the cellulose crystalline structure probably caused by different ...
Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by cellulases is a typical heterogeneous reaction at a solid/liquid interface ... the structure–function relationship of the cellobiohydrolases on crystalline ...
Impact Statement: We demonstrate blue phase liquid crystal films refilled with different nematic liquid crystals. The effects of birefringence and average refractive index of refilled nematic liquid ...
1 proposed by Segal et al. (1959). Where CI is the crystalline index (%), I200 is the maximum intensity of the main diffraction peak (2θ = 22.7º for cellulose I and 2θ = 21.7º for cellulose II), and ...
The photoalignment of liquid crystalline materials has been studied extensively over the past two and a half decades and has recently become of technological importance in the liquid crystal ...
