Poster Prize at the 27th International Liquid Crystals Conference in Japan

Moritz Dechant has been awarded a Poster Prize (RSC Poster Prize „Molecular Systems, Design & Egineering“) at the International Liquid Crystal Conference (ILCC2018, Kyoto, Japan) for his research on complex mesogens on the basis of Phtahlocyanine, conjugated oligomers and Fullerene building blocks. From more than 400 Posters the referees selected from different categories the Kyoto Poster Award (14 Prize Winners), RSC Poster Prize „Soft Matter“ (3 Prize Winners) and the RSC Poster Prize „Molecular Systems, Design & Egineering“ (3 Prize Winners). This is the third award after the prizes in Moscow and Luxembourg. This outstanding series highlights the great talent of Moritz Dechant to convincingly present and competently discuss his excellent research results. 

Moreover, Moritz Dechant and Professor Matthias Lehmann presented a new supramolecular „Click“ mechanism  leading to highly ordered columnar LC materials during their 10 days conference and lecture journey. Beside the invited lecture at the ILCC2018, a visit at the University of Osaka was scheduled. They presented their newest results to Japanese colleagues and after cooperation discussions, they started a new joint project with Professor Masanori Ozaki.
