Phase Behaviour of X-Shaped Liquid Crystalline Molecules
Dan Wei, Zhijuan He, Yunqing Huang +2
X-shaped liquid crystalline molecules (XLCMs) are obtained by tethering two flexible end A-blocks and two flexible side B-blocks to a rigid backbone (R). A rich array of ordered st…

Phase behavior of symmetric diblock copolymers under 3D soft confinement
Zhijuan He, Jin Huang, Kai Jiang +1
The phase behavior of symmetric diblock copolymers under three-dimensional (3D) soft confinement is investigated using the self-consistent field theory. The soft confinement is rea…
