Forming Kinetically‐Trapped Liquid Crystalline Spherical Nanoparticles During Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (Small 45/2025)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles In article number 2506077, Guoxing Liao, LinGe Wang, and co-workers prepared spherical liquid crystalline nanoparticles using a liquid crystalline polymer as the core-forming block during polymerization-induced self-assembly. Further analysis confirmed the straight main-chain conformation of the core-forming block, which exhibits unique birefringence as lyotropic liquid crystal behaviour in nanoparticle formations under polarized optical microscopy.
