A Multiresponsive Ferrocene‐Based Chiral Overcrowded Alkene Twisting Liquid Crystals

AbstractThe reversible modulation of chirality has gained significant attention not only for fundamental stereochemical studies but also for numerous applications ranging from liquid crystals (LCs) to molecular motors and machines. This requires the construction of switchable molecules with (multiple) chiral elements in a highly enantioselective manner, which is often a significant synthetic challenge. Here, we show that the dimerization of an easily accessible enantiopure planar chiral ferrocene‐indanone building block affords a multi‐stimuli‐responsive dimer (FcD) with pre‐determined double bond geometry, helical chirality, and relative orientation of the two ferrocene motifs in high yield. This intrinsically planar chiral switch can not only undergo thermal or photochemical E/Z isomerization but can also be reversibly and quantitatively oxidized to both a monocationic and a dicationic state which is associated with significant changes in its (chir)optical properties. Specifically, FcD acts as a chiral dopant for cholesteric LCs with a helical twisting power (HTP) of 13 μm−1 which, upon oxidation, drops to near zero, resulting in an unprecedently large redox‐tuning of the LC reflection color by up to 84 nm. Due to the straightforward stereoselective synthesis, FcD, and related chiral switches, are envisioned to be powerful building blocks for multi‐stimuli‐responsive molecular machines and in LC‐based materials.

Diagnosing Fungal Infection in Wheat Kernels by Integrating Spectroscopic Technology and Digital Color Imaging System: Artificial Neural Network, Principal Component Analysis and Correlation Feature Selection Techniques

ABSTRACTContamination of cereal grain, especially wheat, with fungal infections can cause significant economic impacts and it endangers the health of humans and livestock. This study aims to appraise the UV/VIS–NIR and digital color (RGB) imaging systems and spectroscopic methodology to detect wheat kernels infected by fungi such as Penicillium expansum and Fusarium graminearum. NIR spectra of 190–1100 nm at 10 nm intervals, visible color reflectance images and non‐visible reflectance images of wheat kernels in the ultraviolet and near‐infrared ranges were applied to develop the multi‐layer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network model. The optimum wavelengths were selected by application of the principal component analysis (PCA) after preprocessing the raw spectra. A confusion matrix was used in the correlation feature selection method (CFS) for the decision tree classifier of selected features. The results showed that the four UV wavelengths of 310, 330, 400, and 410 nm were the best wavelengths using PCA to distinguish healthy and unhealthy wheat kernels. Considering the intensity of the wavelengths as the neural network inputs, samples were classified into healthy and unhealthy categories with an accuracy of 90.9%. Also, 18 features of color images in RGB, LAB, HSV, HSI, YCbCr, and YIQ spaces provided the highest average accuracy of 44.4% in classifying healthy and infected wheat kernels by using a CCD Proline camera in the ultraviolet range. In contrast, other cameras in the visible and invisible range showed low accuracy. Furthermore, the best classification accuracy of the healthy and infected samples by the use of the CFS method was obtained at 88.1%. Based on the findings, spectroscopic methodology proved to be highly effective for detecting, classifying and automatic cleaning of various agricultural seeds, with a particular emphasis on wheat kernals.

Mineralogical Characteristics and Their Usability as Gemstones of Jaspers in Altered Metavolcanics Belonging to the Topçam Formation, Tokat, Turkiye

The jaspers located in the Topçam Mountain, Tepeyurt region (Tokat, Turkey), were formed at green-colored metavolcanic levels within Permian–Triassic schists. The sizes of the jaspers generally vary from a few cm to 1.5 m, and their colors vary from grayish–reddish–brownish/blackish tones depending on the increase in the amount of Fe and Mn elements they contain. According to thin section and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis examinations, it was determined that the composition of jaspers includes quartz, hematite, calcite, and pyrite. As stated by the Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) analysis results, it was observed that the amount of SiO2 in jaspers was 82.5%, and the amount of Fe2O3 was 15.5%. According to Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis results, Fe and Mn impurities, which are thought to cause the color of jaspers, as well as the amount of Fe (6975.5 ppm–46,893.9 ppm–96,431.1 ppm) and the amount of Mn (935.9–3219.7–6040.4 ppm), caused a darkening in color tones (grayish–reddish–brownish/blackish). Cabochon cutting applications were made of jaspers taken from the study area. As a result of these applications, it has been determined that jaspers can be used as gemstones due to their properties, such as their workability, polish retention, and color and light reflection.

The deceptive pollination of Anacamptis morio: generalised food deception or an initial step towards adaptive mimicry?

ABSTRACT Background To attract their pollinators non-rewarding orchids rely on various deception strategies that range from generalised food deception to floral mimicry of a specific model (Batesian mimicry). Aims We evaluated whether the deceptive orchid Anacamptis morio may represent an initial step in the evolutionary trajectory from generalised food deception to Batesian mimicry by resembling the rewarding Polygala nicaeensis, a species with purple flowers very similar to those of A. morio. Methods We assessed the pollination success of A. morio in relation to co-flowering rewarding species. Then, we estimated male and female reproductive success of A. morio depending on the presence of and similarity to the putative model P. nicaeensis. Results The pollination success of A. morio covaried with that of P. nicaeensis and its pollination efficiency was higher when the two species co-occurred. However, we did not find supporting evidence that A. morio mimicked its potential rewarding model. We also found that the orchids with stronger colour reflectance exhibited greater pollination success, according to a scenario of ecological facilitation rather than adaptive mimicry. Conclusion Co-flowering rewarding species with a colour similar to the orchid may enhance the specific pollinator abundance and condition their foraging preference, hence producing a positive effect on the reproductive success of A. morio.

Minor Modification in Asbestos Roof of Cow Shed for Reduction of Heat Stress in Dairy Cows during Summer Season

Thermo neutral zone (TNZ) is the range of ambient temperature & humidity in which animals feel comfortable and their production level is optimum. When temperature humidity index (THI) goes above 72, the dairy cows begin to show symptoms of mild heat stress, which affects the milk production in dairy animals during summer season in India. Asbestos and GI sheet are commonly used as roofing material in many cattle farms throughout the world. This experiment was carried out on apparently healthy cross bred jersey cows receiving balanced ration during the month of May in the livestock farm of OUAT, Bhubaneswar for one week. The existing cattle shed was partitioned into three compartments by raising brick walls, each having the dimension of 30 x 25 ft size. The asbestos roof of first one was covered with 90 % grade green shed-net. Over the asbestos roof of second compartment, heat reflective white colour was painted and asbestos roof of third one was left as such. From 8.00 AM to 5.00PM, the THI of the normal asbestos roof shed varied from mild to moderate heat stress range. But THI of both shed-net covered shed and heat reflective colour painted shed was found to be within the mild heat stress range i.e. 72-79 during noon indicating a comfortable ambient condition for the animals in summer season when the outside ambient temperature went up to 40 0C during noon. No significant (P>0.05) change in the milk production was observed among the groups during the week. However, a decrease (P<0.05) of 0.43, 0.25 and 0.38 L in milk yield of the cows was observed when they were kept under normal asbestos shed, heat reflective colour painted shed and shed-net covered shed, respectively. From the study, this can be concluded that the impact of heat stress on milk production can be reduced by painting the rood of the shed with heat reflective colour paint.

Synthesis and characterization of some new Schiff base azo disperse dyes based on chromene moiety for simultaneous dyeing and antimicrobial finishing

New azo Schiff base disperse dyes based on a chromene moiety were synthesized by reacting (2-amino-7-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4 H-chromene-3 carbonitrile) and(2-amino-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-4 H-chromene-3-carbonitrile), with vanillin and ninhydrin, producing new chromene Schiff base derivatives, which in turn were coupled with 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline diazonium salt to give new 4 azo disperse dyes (1–4). The structures of the prepared dyes were confirmed using elemental analysis, 1HNMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and IR. The synthesized dyes were applied to polyester and nylon fabrics using different dyeing techniques: high temperature- high pressure, and ultrasonic dyeing methods. The highest K/S values for all investigated dyes were achieved usinga high temperature-high pressure dyeing technique. Also, the color reflectance of all synthesized dyes with different dyeing shades (1%, 2%, and 3%) was obtained. The fastness properties of the dyed samples using the investigated dyes showed good color fastness toward light, washing, rubbing, and perspiration fastness. The presence of a chromene moiety and Schiff base in the investigated dyes promotes a higher antimicrobial activity on nylon and polyester fabrics against all tested bacteria (E. coli gram-negative and Staphylococcus aureus gram-positive) and two fungi, Aspergillus Niger and Candida albicans.

Structural analysis of fossilized tree trunks from the Miocene Mydlovary Formation of the South Bohemian Basin (Czech Republic)

Tree trunks were found in situ in Miocene strata of the Mydlovary Formation of the South Bohemian Basin. Our study presents microscopic and chemical tissue analyses of these tree trunks. The trees were fossilized and flattened. However, they are well preserved, which made the analyses feasible. Good preservation of the tissues is indicated by the high Tissue Preservation Index, the high content of cellulose, and the slightly gelified state of the wood. The Gelification Index indicated that there was only limited alteration during diagenesis. Huminite macerals prevailed over liptinite and inertinite macerals, and two varieties of ulminite and textinite were distinguished, differing in colour reflection, light fluorescence, and reflectance values. The biomarker composition in the extracts of the fossil wood obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, included terpenoid signatures, supporting a relationship to the Family Cupressaceae s.s.. Gradual burial of the trees is indicated by the fact that they lay crosswise on top of each other. The character of the sedimentary environment and the physiological differences of the trees could explain the deformation and the high degree of preservation.

Polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals with multi-state reversibility for applications in advanced smart adjustable anti-counterfeiting and energy-saving displays

The creation of an anti-counterfeiting material with reflection color, fluorescence, infrared imaging, and electrical property information will increase the level of anti-counterfeiting. However, the creation of such a material has proved to be extremely challenging. In this study, twin anti-counterfeiting labels with intelligently tunable patterns were obtained through a strategy of PMMA loaded chiral molecules via diffusing on the micrometer scale. In order to enhance anti-counterfeiting ability, the multi-mode intelligently modulated advanced anti-counterfeiting material was obtained through the strategy of introducing photo-isomerizing dithienylethene and infrared-shielding Cs0.33WO3 nanoparticles. This material can be reversibly converted into fluorescent, reflected colors, infrared, and electrical characteristic signals. The encrypted information is displayed with red fluorescence under UV light irradiation. Furthermore, the encrypted information can be reversibly displayed and erased under repeated stimulation by voltage and pressure, heating and cooling, UV, visible and near infrared (NIR) light. The aim of our work is to create a simple method to prepare complex patterns of structural and fluorescent color anti-counterfeiting films with the improved anti-counterfeiting capability. Based on this, the strategy of co-doping fluorescent molecules and photochromic molecules in liquid crystals combined with etching technology has realized a multiple anti-counterfeiting mode with a higher level of security. The advanced multiple anti-counterfeiting mode can output encrypted information of multiple states which will greatly improve the level of anti-counterfeiting. In terms of display, we obtained billboards with complex patterns, price intelligently tunable and full-color display by diffusion S5011 in liquid crystals, thus extending their application in the field of electronic shelf labels.

Improving the color gamut of gold nanostructures using vertical tandem nano-disks

Metallic nanoparticles have been used in structural coloration applications since they provide an alternative for the synthesis of color filters, with extended color gamut, enhanced color saturation, and brightness. These optical properties can be further improved when integrating nanoparticles into coupled dimers that give rise to enhanced hybridized plasmon resonances. In this contribution, gold nano-disks are split into Au/SiO2/Au layered structures to enhance its plasmon resonances and evaluate its improved performance as reflective color filters. To do so, the reflectance spectra of the layered disks were obtained with numerical simulations, identifying high amplitude peaks in the visible band and low-amplitude peaks in the near infrared one, related to the hybridized resonances. By choosing the appropriate size of the intermediate dielectric and metallic layers, as well as the near-field coupling, peaks can be tuned along the visible and near infrared bands, respectively. The chromatic coordinates of the addressed nanostructures obtained from the reflectance spectra show that the nanostructures hold color gamut that extends toward magenta, orange, yellowish, and reddish shades of colors.

Preparation of pigmentary grade bismuth vanadate Bi4V2O11 via coprecipitation method

ABSTRACT In this study, Bi4V2O11 pigments were synthesized using a coprecipitation method, and the pH value and calcination temperature were optimized from the viewpoint of red colorant. The obtained samples were characterized by XRF, XRD, Rietveld refinement, TEM, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry, SEM, XPS and color measurements. It was found that Bi4V2O11 samples with single-phase monoclinic structure could be prepared, when the calcination temperatures were 973 and 1073 K. The obtained single-phase Bi4V2O11 samples exhibited reddish hue. For the sample, which was prepared at pH = 7.0 and calcined at 973 K, its color coordinates were L* = 46.41, a* = +27.41, b* = +26.09.

Research of coloristic properties of textile materials dyed with natural dyestuff

The development of an environmentally friendly technology for dyeing textile materials for various purposes implies the modification of technological processes by using less harmful consumables, namely, dyes of plant origin. Dyes of plant origin have biological decomposability and the most friendly to human nature, and many of them also have a complex of antibacterial and medicinal properties. The purpose of this work is to study the colorimetric properties and develop mathematical models of the obtained dyes based on natural herbs. Extracts of dyes for dyeing textile materials are obtained from the peel of onions, walnut shell, tansy and hypericum with the addition of the following modifying components: aluminum-potassium alum or copper sulfate. The study of the coloristic properties of the obtained dyes was carried out using the Konica Minolta CM-3600d device in the color coordinates 360-700 nm. The results of the study showed the high efficiency of the use of modifying additives in the composition of dyes on the quality of coloring of textile materials. Based on the results of coloristic studies, regression equations and mathematical models describing the effects of staining depth and color reflection on the intensity of tissue coloring are constructed. Due to the active extraction of natural dyes and expanded color shades, the introduction of natural dyes into the textile industry is an urgent task. The introduction of developed natural dyes with modifying additives will improve the hygienic properties of products and increase the environmental friendliness of the finishing process.

A Study of Color Fixation Agents in Secondary Alcohol Ethoxylate-Based Reverse Micellar Cotton Dyeing System with Reactive Dyes

ABSTRACT Influence of color fixation agent (CFA) and dyebath pH in secondary alcohol ethoxylate (SAE)-based reverse micellar dyeing system of cotton with reactive dyes was investigated and compared with water-based dyeing system using different alkali (i.e. CFA) such as: (i) sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), (ii) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and (iii) sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The color, tensile strength, fastness and surface morphological properties of dyed samples were examined. Experimental results showed that samples dyed with Na2CO3 can achieve the highest color yield, followed by NaHCO3 and NaOH in both water-based and reverse micellar dyeing system. The color yield and reflectance percentage of the dyed cotton samples were found to be closely related to the dyebath pH value. Relative unlevelness indices (RUI) also reflected that cotton samples dyed with NaOH in reverse micellar dyeing system have a higher chance of color unlevelness when compared with NaHCO3 and Na2CO3. Tensile strength results affirm that higher alkalinity of dyebath could cause higher strength loss to the colored cotton samples. Both cotton samples dyed by water and SAE approach showed good to excellent color fastness properties while scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images exhibit that the use of different alkalis may cause some damage to the cotton fiber.

High near-infrared reflectance Zn1-xMnxO yellow pigment prepared and properties by co-precipitation method

A successful synthesis of yellow pigments, namely Zn1-xMnxO (x = 0.001–0.009), was achieved using the co-precipitation method. To characterize the prepared pigments, various analytical techniques were employed, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). The results showed that the Zn1-xMnxO series pigments prepared by co-precipitation method retained the ZnO fibrous zincite structure and all had a good yellow color (b*=30.14–40.56) and high NIR solar reflectance (80.66 %-87.80 %). The results of the simulated heat shielding experiments confirmed that the Zn0.997Mn0.003O (abbreviated as ZM3) pigment synthesized in the study was 5°C cooler than the commercial iron yellow pigment, and the thermal imaging experiments showed that the surface temperature of the sample coatings was reduced by 8°C, which further confirmed that the ZM3 pigment had good heat shielding properties. Furthermore, the pigment demonstrates excellent chemical and thermal stability. and can be used as a cold pigment in architectural coatings to obtain energy-saving effects, which has great potential for development.

A Multiresponsive Ferrocene-Based Chiral Overcrowded Alkene Twisting Liquid Crystals.

The reversible modulation of chirality has gained significant attention not only for fundamental stereochemical studies but also for numerous applications ranging from liquid crystals (LCs) to molecular motors and machines. This requires the construction of switchable molecules with (multiple) chiral elements in a highly enantioselective manner, which is often a significant synthetic challenge. Here, we show that the dimerization of an easily accessible enantiopure planar chiral ferrocene-indanone building block affords a multi-stimuli-responsive dimer (FcD) with pre-determined double bond geometry, helical chirality, and relative orientation of the two ferrocene motifs in high yield.

Due to the straightforward stereoselective synthesis, FcD, and related chiral switches, are envisioned to be powerful building blocks for multi-stimuli-responsive molecular machines and in LC-based materials.

Defect Detection of GFRP Composites through Long Pulse Thermography Using an Uncooled Microbolometer Infrared Camera.

The detection of impact and depth defects in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites has been extensively studied to develop effective, reliable, and cost-efficient assessment methods through various Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques. Challenges in detecting these defects arise from varying responses based on the geometrical shape, thickness, and defect types. Long Pulse Thermography (LPT), utilizing an uncooled microbolometer and a low-resolution infrared (IR) camera, presents a promising solution for detecting both depth and impact defects in GFRP materials with a single setup and minimal tools at an economical cost. Despite its potential, the application of LPT has been limited due to susceptibility to noise from environmental radiation and reflections, leading to blurry images. This study focuses on optimizing LPT parameters to achieve accurate defect detection. Specifically, we investigated 11 flat-bottom hole (FBH) depth defects and impact defects ranging from 8 J to 15 J in GFRP materials. The key parameters examined include the environmental temperature, background reflection, background color reflection, and surface emissivity. Additionally, we employed image processing techniques to classify composite defects and automatically highlight defective areas. The Tanimoto Criterion (TC) was used to evaluate the accuracy of LPT both for raw images and post-processed images. The results demonstrate that through parameter optimization, the depth defects in GFRP materials were successfully detected. The TC success rate reached 0.91 for detecting FBH depth defects in raw images, which improved significantly after post-processing using Canny edge detection and Hough circle detection algorithms. This study underscores the potential of optimized LPT as a cost-effective and reliable method for detecting defects in GFRP composites.

Plasmonic structurally colored surfaces with metal film over microsphere lattices

Structural coloring through plasmonic nanostructures involves the manipulation of light interaction with nanostructured metallic surfaces to selectively reflect specific spectral ranges within the visible spectrum. Unlike conventional pigments that absorb light based on their chemical properties, plasmonic nanostructures achieve color through their physical configuration. This study investigates the potential of generating plasmonic structural colors by utilizing self-assembled colloidal microsphere lattices that are coated with thin metal films. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations are employed on realistic models to analyze the optical reflectance of dielectric microsphere lattices ranging in sizes from 300 to 700 nm, coated with varying thicknesses (20–200 nm) of different metals (Al, Ag, Au). The reflectance spectra are then translated into specific colors using a software algorithm, with the color representations plotted on CIE1931 diagrams. Furthermore, to validate the theoretical findings, two-dimensional polystyrene microsphere arrays coated with Au and Ag films are prepared, and their reflectance spectra and color images are examined. The resulting plasmonic colors can be adjusted by altering the sphere size, the type of metal used, and the thickness of the coating, demonstrating their potential for diverse color-based applications.

Emergent Ferroelectric Nematic and Heliconical Ferroelectric Nematic States in an Achiral "Straight" Polar Rod Mesogen.

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (NFLCs) are distinguished by their remarkable polarization characteristics and diverse physical phenomena, sparking significant interest and excitement within the scientific community. To date, over 150 NFLC molecules are developed; however, there are no reports regarding straight linear polar molecules with a parallel alignment of the permanent dipole moment and the molecular axis. The straight polar mesogen nBOE exhibits an enantiotropic NF phase with a wide temperature window (up to 100 K) despite having a longer alkyl chain (up to n = 6) than the critical alkyl chain length of conventional models. Interestingly, nBOE with a medium-length alkyl chain displays an exotic phase sequence of NF-HCNF-SmXF during the elimination of positional displacement among adjacent molecules. Furthermore, the reflective color modulation of the HCNFLC over the entire VIS-NIR spectral regime by ultralow E-field (up to 0.14V µm-1) is demonstrated.

Milk Tea–Colored Perovskite Solar Cells Fabricated Through a Multilayer Film Design

This study presents the fabrication of perovskite thin-film solar cells (PTSCs) with adjustable colors, achieved through a multilayer film design. The multilayer film, comprising Au and indium-tin-oxide (ITO), functions as an adjusted color reflectance (ACR) multilayer film. When the ITO thickness is varied from 100 to 150 nm, the color of the PTSCs can be adjusted from lighter shades that resemble fresh milk tea to darker tones akin to caramel. The color changes that the ACR multilayer film induces correlate well with its reflectance response. Compared with traditional black-colored PTSCs, the milk tea–colored PTSCs maintain a power conversion efficiency of >12%. This achievement suggests the potential for fabricating PTSCs in various colors and patterns that are suitable for use in furnishings, accessories, and other applications.

Dynamic Information Encryption and Coding using Liquid Crystal Soft Helical Microstructures with Spiropyran Photochromic Switch

AbstractIn contrast to conventional anti‐counterfeiting technologies, which are susceptible to decryption and exhibit limited effectiveness, the utilization of light to dynamically configure soft materials in a fully reversible and programmable manner not only enhances data security but also improves anti‐counterfeiting performance. However, achieving precise control over reflection structural colors and laser wavelengths within a broad dynamic range remains a challenge. In this study, a UV‐responsive soft helical superstructure is established by combining a photochromic compound with chiral liquid crystals (LCs). By manipulating the Bragg reflection angle, structural reflection colors ranging from red to cyan are successfully achieved. The introduction of an anti‐counterfeiting technique that embeds diverse micro‐structures provides features such as color adjustability, erasability, and angle‐dependent stability. Using the unique properties of this soft helical superstructure, the implementation of a wavelength‐tunable LC bandgap laser through optically reconfigurable Förster resonance energy transfer processes is showcased. Furthermore, a straightforward prototype information encoder is developed to mimic the processes of information encoding and decoding, bypassing the need for complex algorithm design. This research underscores the practicality of LC helical soft systems, emphasizing their distinctive responsiveness to light and their applicability in optical programming photonics.

Active Full‐Color Generation Based on a Liquid Crystal‐Integrated Plasmonic Metasurface

Structural colors based on metasurfaces outperform traditional pigments and dyes in terms of nonfading, high spatial resolution, and high stability, usually incorporating active materials for tunability. Liquid crystals (LCs) are suitable for tunable structural color design due to their large birefringence and fast modulation by external stimuli. However, most LC‐integrated structural colors focus on tailoring the polarization angle of incident light to generate two colors and their mixing. Herein, a scheme of full‐color generation based on a plasmonic metasurface integrated with LCs utilizing the combination of the polarization angle rotation effect of the twisted‐nematic LCs and the refractive index modulation through the realignment of the LCs near the metasurface is demonstrated. Based on the proposed structural color method, full‐color generation of a record color gamut of 60.7% standard Red Green Blue region, equivalent to 43% National Television Standards Committee area, in the LC‐integrated metasurface, has been numerically realized by tuning the bias voltage of the LCs in reflection. The achieved color gamut is nearly 4 times wider than the previously reported result. The proposed active full‐color generation metasurface shows great potential in applications for low‐power reflective color display, anticounterfeiting, and optical encoding.
