... When LCs are mentioned, people will think of optoelectronic materials. At present, LCs are still mainly optimized as optoelectronic materials, and there is almost no structural design specifically for tribological materials, although tribologists have paid attention to LCs as potential new lubricants from the perspective of conventional lubrication for many years [34][35][36][37][38]. ...

... Liquid crystals (LCs) are an attractive class of soft matter having properties somewhere between liquids and solid crystals. LCs have received an overwhelming response due to their very promising applications in various technological fields such as display devices, organic light emitting diodes, anisotropic networks, photoconductors, semiconductor materials, lubricating agents and LC sensors [1][2][3][4][5]. An effective way to develop new low-cost LC material with unique properties is the modification of molecular structure which has proven to be one of the finest strategies [6]. ...
