Liquid crystal systems (LCSs) have interesting cosmetic applications because of their ability to increase the therapeutic efficiency and solubility of active ingredients. The aim of the present research was to develop green ...

In this work, binary mixtures of a non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) and water were studied with concentrations of 30% wt H2O, showing, lamellar mesophase at temperatures below 10 degrees C. Different dicationic ionic ...

Polymeric materials presenting liquid crystalline domains are attracting increasing attention from academia and industry due to their unique properties, particularly for optical applications and as components of high-strength ...

Three different low molecular weight nematic liquid crystals (LCs) were used to impregnate bacterial cellulose (BC) film. This simple fabrication pathway allows to obtain highly transparent BC based films. The coating of ...

This document is the first published by the IUPAC Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature dealing specifically with liquid crystals. Because of the breadth of its scope, it has been prepared in collaboration with ...

This study aimed to characterize different emulsions obtained by the addition of four thickening agents, using rheological measurements, beyond analyzing the emulsions by polarized light microscopy looking for liquid ...
