Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals: Mixtures and Applications

Invited

Description:

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLC) were first identified in 2017. FNLC are polar fluids with high spontaneous polarization and are SHG active. In this paper, we will describe some of the more unusual properties of FNLC and explore the development of room temperature stable ferroelectric nematic mixtures. We will also present potential application fields of these unique liquid crystals.
