TL;DR: In this paper, a composite component including a first component and a second component, the first component being provided around the second component through one or more turns, the turns being spaced longitudinally relative to the axis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a shear-thinning UV-curable silicone composition, which can include (A) a mercapto-functional polyorganosiloxane having the unit formula [(CH 3 ) 3 SiO 1/2 ] x [( CH 3 ) 2 SiO] y [R(CH 3 ]SiO] z wherein x is about 0.01 to about 1.1, y is approximately 0.94, and at each occurrence R is independently a mercpto(C 1-30 )hydrocarbyl group.

TL;DR: In this article, a liquid crystal formulation consisting of a first oligosiloxane-modified nano-phase segregating liquid crystalline material; and at least one additional material selected from a second OLSM modified nano phase segregating material, was described.

TL;DR: A liquid crystal electro-optic device comprises at least one liquid crystal cell comprising: a pair of substrates having a gap there between; a pairof electrodes, the pair of electrodes positioned on one of the substrates or one electrode positioned on each substrate; and a ferroelectric, oligosiloxane liquid crystal material disposed in the gap between the pair-of- substrates, the ferroelectrodes exhibiting an I ♦ SmC* phase sequence wherein the liquid crystal EO device is bistable in operation as discussed by the authors.
