Liquid Crystalline Nanosystems Research Group

The "Liquid Crystalline Nanosystems" research group was established at the A.B. Nalbandyan Institute of Chemical Physics on January 1, 2023, within the framework of a starting grant project for scientific groups establishment funded by the Science Committee of the RA MoESCS. The group is actively exploring an interesting range of innovative directions, including the synthesis of two-dimensional materials (2D) through various methods, obtaining their liquid crystalline phases, creating hybrid and heterostructure systems based on these materials, controlling them via external fields, and exploring their potential applications in modern technologies.

The goals of the scientific group are:

•    Synthesis of 2D materials using various methods and characterization of their physicochemical properties.
•    Development of hybrid structures based on 2D materials.
•    Obtaining liquid crystalline phases of 2D materials with the incorporation of organic molecules and nanoparticles.
•    Dynamic control of physicochemical properties of 2D nanocomposites by external fields.
•    Formation and control of micropatterns based on lyotropic liquid crystalline materials.
•    Designing laboratory samples for advanced optoelectronic devices based on liquid crystalline nanocomposite structures.
