New liquid-crystalline biphenyl carboxylates with an achiral swallow-tail derived from 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propanol $[(ROCH_2)_2CHOH$] where R is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, $CH_2CF_3$, and $CH_2CF_2CF_3$ were prepared. These achiral liquid crystals having 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propyl moieties exhibit diverse phase sequences [I-SmA-(SmC)-(SmCalt)-Cr] depending on the substituent R group of the swallow-tail. The compounds carrying a fluorinated swallow-tail exhibit antiferroelectric-like smectic C phases, and their temperature ranges are broader than the corresponding non-fluorinated swallow-tailed ones.

Abstract A new and versatile method for the preparation of biphenyl thioester series was studied in ferroelectric liquid crystal. Many of the resulting liquid crystal showed a ferroelectric chiral smectic C phase in addition to the chiral nematic and smectic A phase. We obtained a large spontaneous polarization exceeding $10^{-8}$C/c$m^2$ in new biphenyl thioester series. It was found that the size and polarity of the substituent in chiral carbon influenced the magnitude of spontaneous polarization. The series allow us to determine the influence of substituent size in the chiral carbon the existence and the stability of the Sc* phase.

Molecularly imprinted microsphere for chloramphenicol (CAP) with high adsorption capacity and excellent selectivity is prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization, in which chloramphenicol is used as template molecule and ethyl acetate as porogen. The CAP-imprinted microspheres are used as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase and packed into stainless steel column ($150mm{\times}4.6mm$ i.d.) for selective separation of chloramphenicol. HPLC analysis suggests that chloramphenicol can be distinguished from not only its structural analogs but also other broad-spectrum antibiotic such as erythromycin and tetracycline. In addition, the binding experiments of CAP-imprinted microspheres are carried out in ethanol/water (1:4, V:V), the results indicate that the maximum apparent static binding capacity of molecularly imprinted microspheres is up to 66.64 mg $g^{-1}$ according to scatchard model.

We fabricate poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiopene patterns using liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer (LB-nTM) printing via vapor phase polymerization (VPP). LB-nTM printing method can simultaneously enable the synthesis, alignment and patterning of the nanowires from molecular ink solutions. Two- or three-dimensional complex structures of VPP-PEDOT were directly fabricated over a large area using many types of molecular inks. VPP method is a versatile technique that can be used to obtain highly conducting coatings of conjugated polymer on both conducting and non-conducting substrates. The PEDOT patterns has analyzed crystallinity from X-ray diffraction pattern and select-area diffraction patterns. In addition, the PEDOT pattern has high conductivity compared other conducting polymers.

The synthesis and characterization of the nitrile ligands 3,4,5-tridodecyloxy benzonitrile (7) and 3,4,5-trioctadecyloxy benzonitrile (8), and their corresponding palladium(Ⅱ) complexes are described. The nitrile ligands display only a crystalline phase and do not show liquid crystalline behavior, while their corresponding palladium(Ⅱ) complexes dispaly an enantiotropic columnar mesophase. The induction of the columnar mesophase is mainly due to dimerization through the palladium complexation of the half disk-like nitrile ligands giving rise to a trans square planar geometry.

A series of new symmetric TTF derivatives were designed and synthesized. This facile synthetic method provides an opportunity to prepare TTF-based LC candidates. This series of compounds exhibited smectic A phase based on coplanar TTF core. One of the LC compounds was used as a semiconductor layer to fabricate OTFT.

Three ring type liquid crystalline compounds having 4-alklycyclohexyl group, 1,2-difluorobenzene and phenylisothiocyanate moieties as main skeleton were designed to have negative dielectricity. However, the compounds with 2,3,2'-trifluoro-3'-isothiocyanated biphenylcyclohexane core did not exhibit the nematic liquid crystalline phase because of two conformers by interaction of isothiocyanate and adjacent fluorine atoms. Also, 4-alkyl-2,2',3'-trifluoro-3-isothiocyanated biphenylcyclohexane core was designed expecting to have uniform conformers of isothiocyanate group. In the course of developing polyimides for VA mode LCD, we synthesized alkyl-3,5-diaminobenzene efficiently with various length of alkyl chains from commercially available di-t-butyl malonate and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride as starting material.

Turbulent in-situ mixing process is a new material process technology to get dispersed phase in nanometer size by controlling reaction of liquid/liquid, liquid/solid and liquid/gas, flow and solidification speed simultaneously. In this study mixing, the key technology to this synthesis method will be studied by computational fluid dynamics. For the simulation of mixing of liquid metal, static mixers will be investigated. Two inlets for different liquid metal meet and merge like 'Y' shape tube. The tube has various shapes such as straight and curved. Also, the radius of curve will be varied. The performance of mixer will be evaluated with quantitative analysis with coefficient of variance of mass fraction. Also, detailed plots of intersection will be presented to understand effect of mixer shape on mixing.

The amorphous $SiO_x$ nanowires were synthesized by the vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) method. $SiO_x$ nanowires were formed on silicon wafer of temperatures ranged from $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ and nickel thin film was used as a catalyst for the growth of nanowires. A vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism is responsible for the catalyst-assisted amorphous $SiO_x$ nanowires synthesis in this experiment. The SEM images showed cotton-like nanostructure of free standing $SiO_x$ nanowires with the length of more than about $10{\mu}m$. The $SiO_x$ nanowires were confirmed amorphous structure by TEM analysis and EDX spectrum reveals that the nanowires consist of Si and O.
