摘要：
Liquid crystal oligomers have a supermolecular structure in which two or more mesogenic units are interconnected through flexible spacers. They can form various molecular packing structures in their liquid-crystalline phases. We present flexible LC oligomers stabilising optically isotropic phases, i.e. blue phases (BPs) and chiral conglomerate phases. Hysteresis free switching, high contrast and wide viewing angle are obtainable in the amorphous BPIII without surface treatment. Spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking in layered phases of achiral flexible linear trimers produces periodic nanostructured surfaces. Then we demonstrate the effects of liquid-crystallinity on anticancer activities. Biological systems have links with liquid crystallinity. We found a molecular assembly of mesogenic molecules possessing an active site as a novel therapeutic approach against solid cancer cells.
