摘要
Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) with displaying birefringence have great potential in various (bio)sensor schemes. So far, their high transition temperatures prevent their application. We demonstrate in a novel series of ILCs, based on archetypical mesogens, how to reduce clearing temperatures and we explain our results qualitatively.
