Most-cited papers in Liquid Crystals

Chiral nematic suspensions of cellulose crystallites; phase separation and magnetic field orientation

Jean‐François Revol, Louis Godbout, Xue-Min Dong et al. · 1 Jan 1994

Abstract Suspensions of rod-like cellulose crystallites of axial ratio ≈ 20–40, prepared by acid hydrolysis of natural cellulose fibres with sulphuric acid, give stable ordered fluids that display well-formed textures and disclinations characteristic of chiral nematic liquid crystalline phases. The critical volume fraction for phase separation of salt-free suspensions is typically 0.03, with a relatively…

Supramolecular hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals

Constantinos M. Paleos, Dimitris Tsiourvas · 1 Aug 2001

The role of hydrogen-bonding interactions in the formation and/or stabilization of liquid crystalline phases has been recognized in recent years and significant work has been conducted. Following the first and well-established examples of liquid crystal formation through the dimerization of aromatic carboxylic acids, several classes of compounds have been prepared by the interaction of complementary…

Response times and voltages for PDLC light shutters

Baogang Wu, John H. Erdmann, J. W. Doane · 1 Jan 1989

Abstract The response times and operating voltages of light shutters formed from polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) have been studied experimentally and the results compared with calculations based on non-sperhically shaped nematic droplet models. The experiments were performed on light shutters with elongated and uniformly aligned droplets where the relaxation time and voltage response were…

Recent developments in the chemistry of triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals

Sandeep Kumar · 21 Jul 2004

Triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals, which have already been used commercially in phase compensation films to improve the viewing angle of liquid crystal display devices, also have application potential as one-dimensional charge carrier systems useful in electrical conduction, photoconduction, electroluminescence, photovoltaic solar cells, gas sensing, optical data storage and other devices. Over the past 25 years,…

Non-symmetric dimeric liquid crystals The preparation and properties of the α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-ω-(4- <i>n</i> -alkylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy)alkanes

George S. Attard, Richard W. Date, Corrie T. Imrie et al. · 1 Apr 1994

Abstract Six series of a family of non-symmetric dimers, the α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)-ω-(4-n-alkylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy)alkanes, have been prepared. In three of the series, the number of methylene groups in the flexible alkyl spacer has been varied from 3 to 12 while the terminal alkyl chain is held constant at either 2, 6 or 10. In the remaining series, the…

Liquid Crystals template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Liquid Crystals format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Liquid Crystals template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Liquid Crystals use?
Liquid Crystals uses Numbered (Vancouver/NLM) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Liquid Crystals. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Liquid Crystals?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Liquid Crystals document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Liquid Crystals template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Liquid Crystals format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Liquid Crystals?
Taylor & Francis journal (Interact). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Taylor & Francis.
Can I export a submission-ready Liquid Crystals PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Liquid Crystals template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Liquid Crystals template cost?
You can start writing in the Liquid Crystals template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Liquid Crystals PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
