Abstract

ABSTRACT With growth of interest in functional materials possessing highly organized and well-defined nanostructures, lyotropic mesophases have received much attention. Amphiphiles and chromogens can spontaneously construct ordered lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) and lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal phases in both organic and inorganic solvents. The combined properties of self-organization with facile orientation and intriguing optical adjustments grant lyotropic mesophases with many potential applications, including use in coatable polarizers, micropatterned films, soft actuators, biomimetic chirophotonic crystals, and energy harvesting devices. In this review, we discuss the general concept of self-assembled lyotropic mesophases and their corresponding structural evolutions in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Recent research progress in the investigations of polymer-stabilized LLC is also discussed.

溶致液晶在水溶液和非水溶液中的自组装和聚合物稳定

随着人们对具有高度组织化和良好定义的纳米结构的功能材料的兴趣的增长，溶致中间相受到了广泛的关注。两亲体和显色体在有机和无机溶剂中都能自发地形成有序的溶致液晶(LLC)和溶致变色液晶相。自组织、易于定向和有趣的光学调节的组合特性使溶致中间相具有许多潜在的应用，包括用于可涂覆偏振片、微图案薄膜、软致动器、仿生光子晶体和能量收集装置。本文综述了自组装溶致中间相的一般概念及其在水体系和非水体系中的结构演变。对聚合物稳定LLC的最新研究进展进行了讨论。
