Breakthrough of formation mechanism and functionalization of chiral liquid crystal phase by molecular structure

高手性的高阶纳米液晶（如蓝相）对手性非常敏感，其形成机理尚不清楚。为了理解手性分子如何高效地将手性传递到液晶分子中，需要改变手性分子的结构。蓝相的稳定化和性能的改善等非常有趣的结果有望成为下一代显示器件，并且通过改变手性分子结构获得了由外部刺激引起的液晶相变。

High order nanostructures liquid crystals with high chirality (for example, blue phases) are exquisitely sensitive to chirality, their formation mechanism are not clear. In order to understand how chirality is transferred from chiral molecules to liquid crystal molecules efficiently and effectively, chiral molecular structures were changed. The critically interesting results such as stabilization and improved properties of blue phases are expected to be next generation display devices and liquid crystal phase transitions by external stimuli were obtained by changing chiral molecular structures.
