Programming Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Hetero-Oligomers for Near-Infrared Reflectors
Unequal Incorporation of Similar Reactive Mesogens in Thiol-ene Oligomers
Cholesteric liquid crystal oligomers are widely researched for their interesting thermochromic properties. However, structure-property relationships to program the thermochromic properties of these oligomers have been rarely reported. In this work, we use the versatile thiol-ene
