STIMULI-DRIVEN DYNAMIC RECONFIGURABLE HELICAL SUPERSTRUCTURES, AND COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

A dynamic self-organized helical superstructure device includes a chiral material and a liquid crystal material disposed between first and second substrates. The helical superstructure is reversibly switchable upon the application of at least one external stimulus from one state to another state among three states: a standing helix, a uniform lying helix, and an in-plane rotation state.
