Liquid crystals and functional materials

Our research focuses on liquid crystals with new molecular architectures and functional liquid crystals. The approach we follow in our work is creating liquid crystal supermolecules by attaching functional moieties, through covalent bonds, to a liquid crystalline molecule. In this way we use the liquid crystalline state as the organising medium to induce the assembly of functional moieties. This is a very powerful tool since a great variety of mesophase morphologies can be achieved to control the structuring in one or more dimensions.
