INMA - Coloquio: “Tangible chirality from motorized liquid crystals”.- Miércoles 7 de febrero

El miércoles 7 de febrero de 2024 se retoma el ciclo de seminarios “INMA-COLOQUIO”. Esta iniciativa, organizada por el Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón, INMA (CSIC-Universidad de Zaragoza), tiene como objetivo acercar al personal investigador de Aragón a referentes de primer nivel internacional en temáticas diversas y muy actuales de interés científico, como por su esperado impacto en nuestro futuro como sociedad.

La sesión correrá a cargo del Prof. Broer, de la Eindhoven University of Technology que ofrecerá la conferencia titulada: - Tangible chirality from motorized liquid crystals.

La sesión tendrá lugar el miércoles 7 de febrero a las 12 horas en la Sala de Grados de Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Zaragoza.

Resumen de la charla: Liquid crystals are known for their well-controlled molecular organization and electro-optical responses which is used to the benefit of liquid crystal displays, Chirality enhances their trigger-controlled complexity as used in diffractive optics and smart windows. In our work we combine liquid crystal amplified chirality with motor molecules. This leads to light- or electricity actuated effects that can be seen, can be felt or can perform mechanical actions with new applications in soft robotics and haptics and human interactivity.

Resumen del currículo: Dirk J. Broer is a polymer chemist, with a PhD from the Univ. of Groningen, who has spent the majority of his career at Philips Research in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Throughout his career, he has focused on the development of materials and technologies for the manufacture of liquid crystal, optical and biomedical devices. From 2003 to 2010, he was vice president at the Philips Research Labs. and he holds the record of Philips patents, most of them exploited. In 2010, he was appointed as full time professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology to chair the research group Functional Organic Materials and Devices. Since 2020, he holds the position of professor emeritus.
