The role of anions in adsorbate-induced anchoring transitions of liquid crystals on surfaces with discrete cation binding sites

Soft Matter, 2018, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C7SM01981E, PaperTibor Szilvasi, Nanqi Bao, Huaizhe Yu, Robert J. Twieg, Manos Mavrikakis, Nicholas L. Abbott A universal exponential relationship is found between calculated displacement free energies and adsorbate-induced dynamic responses of liquid crystals for a range of metal salts. Nitrate anions provide fast response times. To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above. The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry
