2. 1. Structures and Properties of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays

   Author : Marek Matuszczyk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smectic; displays; dielectric anisotropy and biaxiality; surface-stabilized structure; dielectric; paraelectric; liquid crystal alignment; electroclinic effect; grey scale; polarization; multiplexing; liquid crystal LC ; orthogonal and tilted phases; chirality; aligning layer; ferroelectric; polyimide; rubbing; light valves and modulators; SSFLC;

   Abstract : Liquid crystals have unique physical properties as they combine the features of solids and liquids. In thermotropic liquid crystals the degree of order varies with temperature resulting in an appearance of intermediate phases. READ MORE

4. 2. Amphiphilic Molecules in Aqueous Solution

   Author : Gerd Persson; Göran Lindblom; Håkan Edlund; Björn Lindman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; liquid crystal; phase diagrams; counterions; alkylpyridinium octanesulfonates; 1-monooleoyl-rac-glycerol; n-octyl-β-D-glucoside; cubic phases; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate amphiphilic molecules in aqueous solution. The work was divided into two parts. In the first part the effects of different counterions on phase behavior was investigated, while the second part concerns the 1-monooleoyl-rac-glycerol (MO)/n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (OG)/2H2O-system.

5. 3. Liquid Crystalline SIloxane Dimers - Advanced Materials with Enhanced Properties

   Author : Nils Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 45 degree tilt angle; dimer; antiferroelectric; fluorinated; siloxane; polymer; liquid crystal; macrocycle; ferroelectric;

   Abstract : The liquid crystal state is a complex state with many kinds of different molecular attractive and repulsive forces that results in various kinds of phases. Since the pioneering works by Vorländer in the early 20th century, liquid crystal research has to a great extent been depending on careful systematic studies of the structure/property relationships in series of similar liquid crystalline materials.

6. 4. Phase Behavior and Solution Properties of Aqueous Polyion-Surfactant Ion Systems

   Author : John Janiak; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer-surfactant association; complex salt; nonionic surfactant; poly acrylic acid ; poly methacrylic acid ; copolymer; polymeric counterion; decyl betainate; phase behavior; solubilization; mixed micelle; hydrolysis; release; liquid crystal; nanoparticles; thermosresponsive; C12E8; C12E5;

   Abstract : Polyelectrolytes and oppositely charged surfactants interact through attractive electrostatic forces, which in many cases lead to phase separation already at low total concentrations. During the past 10-15 years investigations of these systems have been simplified through the use of complex salts that consist of surfactants with polymeric counterions in a 1:1 charge stoichiometry (no excess simple counterions present).

7. 5. Organic Reactions i Organised Media

   Author : TOMASZ WITULA; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nucleophilic substitution; mesoporous material; microemulsion; silica; lipase; Liquid crystal; alumina; entrapment.; heterogenized; titania; organic synthesis;

   Abstract : A common problem in synthetic organic chemistry is reactant incompatibility between lipophilic organic compounds and inorganic salts. The thesis reports an investigation of some organic reactions, involving incompatible substrate and nucleophile, performed in liquid crystalline phases and also in slurries of mesoporous materials with different symmetry.
