<i>π</i> ‐Extended Viologen‐Based Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystal Reactive Mesogen: Uniaxial Orientation and Photopolymerization for Transmittance and Color Controllable Electrochromic Smart Glass (Adv. Mater. 40/2025)
Smart Glass In article number 2503367, Kwang-Un Jeong and co-workers developed electrochromic smart glasses with controllable color and polarization by employing π-extended viologen-based lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (πV-LCLCs). Through simple self-assembly and polymerization processes, they constructed uniaxially oriented hierarchical nanostructures exhibiting three stable redox states and polarization-dependent transmittance, demonstrating potential applications in privacy protection and information security technologies.
