Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) capable of polymerization open new areas for nano‐ and bio‐applications beyond displays. The intrinsic anisotropies of thermal, optical, and electrical properties of such LCMs allow for a wide range of self‐assembled mesoscopic structures within amorphous matrices or on solid substrates. Based on diverse structures of the LCMs, we demonstrate two representative devices, colloidal microwires and an artificial iris for a human eye.</p> </abstract>
