WebbUntil now, all thermochromic materials have contained at least one toxic or carcinogenic component which is a major shortcoming for their application especially in medical or food technology products. This paper describes the development of the first non-toxic and non-carcinogenic thermochromic polymer material. Thermotropic LCs, intended to be used as colourimetric temperature sensors, are characterized by three parameters: the lower clearing point temperature, optical activation range, and the higher clearing point temperature (Abdullah et al., 2010).

Webb7 nov. 2014 · In this contribution, we show that thermotropic liquid crystal phases and materials can also be made from biomolecules, demonstrating a simple generic method … WebbIn this review article, we analyze recent progress in the application of liquid crystal-assisted advanced functional materials for sensing biological and chemical analytes. Multiple research groups demonstrate substantial … WebbThe formation of a stable crystalline phase from a fluid phase usually involves the passage through a gel or metastable subgel phase during cooling. Herein, we found for the first time that for the four-tailed lipid, tetramyristoyl cardiolipin (TMCL), a metastable subgel phase (“subgel II”-type phase, or SGII) was cotrimoxazol suspension
