Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.

Researchers have developed a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light ...

What is Capillary Force Lithography? Capillary Force Lithography (CFL) is a versatile and cost-effective technique for patterning surfaces at the nanoscale. It leverages the capillary forces arising ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from California and South Korea have discovered a way to use a water-soluble polymer as a new, recyclable material for 3D printing. This polymer can also be combined with ...
