Synthesis and Characterization of Siloxane-terminated Liquid Crystals and Photochromic Fulgide Dopants for Liquid Crystal Photonics Applications

The goal of this thesis is to design both liquid crystal hosts and photochromic dopants terminated with short siloxane oligomers in order to produce homogeneous liquid crystal mixtures containing a photochromic component for liquid crystal photoswitches. Some of the liquid crystals terminated with...
