Tunable Thermotropic Liquid Crystals Using Amphiphilic Sequence-Defined Macromolecules

Liquid crystals (LCs) are a class of materials that combine molecular order and fluidity, making them crucial for technologies from displays to sensors. However, polymeric LC materials typically lack molecular precision, limiting systematic control over their phase behavior. Here, we report a modular synthetic strategy...
