By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In ...

In their study, the research team synthesized optically active conducting polymers from non-optically active monomers through physical rather than chemical methods using a liquid crystal reaction ...

"This polymer serves dual roles as a transparent conductor and ion-storage material, enabling the fabrication of flexible, all-polymer electrochromic displays with simplified device architectures ...
