Luminescent Ionic Liquid Crystals Based On Stilbazolium Moieties, William Mccurdy, Pradip K. Bhowmik

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)

Liquid crystals have become pivotally important to a variety of image displaying technologies. They have drawn much attention due to their ability to confer luminescent properties to a wide spectrum of image based devices. The purpose of this research is to describe a new methodology for an efficient synthesis of luminescent ionic liquid crystals including a discussion of their applications in the biological/medicinal sciences.
