T. Kato et al., THERMOREVERSIBLE SELF-ORGANIZED GELS OF A LIQUID-CRYSTAL FORMED BY AGGREGATION OF TRANS-1,2-BIS(ACYLAMINO)CYCLOHEXANE CONTAINING A MESOGENIC MOIETY, Chemistry Letters, (3), 1998, pp. 193-194
A novel class of anisotropic gels has been obtained by the formation o
f a self-associated molecular network in a liquid crystal. The gels ex
hibit thermoreversible two gel states derived from liquid-crystalline
and isotropic states of the mesogenic molecule.
