Multifunctional Supramolecular Gels with Strong Mechanical Properties Formed by Self-Assembly of Polyoxometalate-Based Coordination Polymers Open
Metallogels built in a bottom-up approach by metal coordination and supramolecular interactions have important potential for the elaboration of smart materials. In this context, we present here the formation of supramolecular coordination …

State diagrams of type I collagen for the rational design of biomimetic materials Open
Ideally, designing tissue engineering grafts and 3D cell culture materials should rely on mimicking the architecture and composition of the extracellular matrix, which is predominantly comprised of type I collagen. However, while collagen …

The Interplay of Spacer Chirality and Parity in Mesogenic Dimers Open
Introducing chirality into soft materials, including liquid crystals (LCs), profoundly impacts their self‐organization and physical properties. In this study, we synthesized a novel series of LC dimers with a chiral center as part of their…

Theoretical model for the Frank elastic moduli in the intercalated SmA <sub>b</sub> phase of bent-shaped dimers Open
In our previous works we have shown that the elastic properties of the intercalated SmAb phase formed by bent-shaped dimers are governed by the nematic-like behaviour of the secondary director m that is associated with th…

Temperature Dependence of the Electroclinic Effect in the Twist-Bend Nematic Phase Open
The twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase of bent-shaped molecules has recently attracted much attention due to the spontaneous bend of its director field and the doubly-degenerate chirality of its heliconical structure. Despite intensive experim…

Crystalline restacking of 2D-materials from their nanosheets suspensions Open
We report a highly ordered restacking of the 2D phosphatoantimonic materials H 3(1− x ) M 3 x Sb 3 P 2 O 14 , (where M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and 0 ≤ x ≤ 1), from their nanosheets dispersed in colloidal suspension, induced by a simple pH chan…

Do Aqueous Suspensions of Smectite Clays Form a Smectic Liquid-Crystalline Phase? Open
Bottom-up strategies for the production of well-defined nanostructures often rely on the self-assembly of anisotropic colloidal particles (nanowires and nanosheets). These building blocks can be obtained by delamination in a solvent of low…
