Abstract
Liquid-crystalline physical gels have been obtained by the self-association of hydrogen-bonded molecules in a room-temperature nematic liquid crystal. Thermoreversible three states, isotopic liquid, normal (isotropic) gel, an d anisotropic gel can be achieved for these mixtures. Electro-optic propert ies of the anisotropic gels have been examined with a twisted nematic cell.
