Competition between helical and heliconical twist in the development of complex soft matter structures

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Molecular chirality and chain branching in chiral bent-core liquid crystals control the helical vs. heliconical twist, leading to the discovery of new low-birefringent and isotropic mesophases.
