We have developed a method of directing or bending carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the desired direction along a structure. The new method utilizes careful positioning of a catalyst with respect to the structure, so that the CNTs growing from the catalyst experience an effective van der Waals force from the structure. The…

This paper summarizes liquid-crystalline polymorphism of the asymmetrical 4-alkyloxybenzylidene-4 -alkyloxyanilines. In this group, containing 121 compounds, 6 types of mesophases were detected: nematic, smectic A, smectic C, smectic B, smectic I, and smectic G. Influence of both alkyl chain length on the type of meso…
