Le, Fumito Araoka, Susumu Kawauchi, Ewa Gorecka, Nataša Vaupotič, Hideo Takezoe, and Ken Ishikawa Elastic constants in liquid crystals are known to be in the range of pico- and several-tens piconewton (pN). We report herein that a bend elastic constant, K33, remarkably varies depending on a slight modification of the chemical structure in an analogous series of calamitic liquid crystals. In cont...
