πŸ“’ Keynote Speaker Spotlight: Prof. Vladimir G. Chigrinov on Azodye Nanolayers – New Trend in Liquid Crystal Devices

We are excited to announce that Professor Vladimir G. Chigrinov, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, will be delivering a Keynote Virtual Presentation at the International Congress on Materials Science and Nanotechnology, taking place November 20-22, 2025, in Singapore and Online.

Keynote Title:
Azodye nanolayers: New trend in liquid crystal devices


Abstract

Photoalignment and photopatterning have been explored for decades as promising methods for controlling the molecular arrangement in liquid crystal (LC) devices. Light not only provides the energy required for these processes but also delivers critical phase and polarization information to the material systems.

Recent advancements have shown that photoalignment of liquid crystals using azodye nanolayers enables exceptionally precise molecular alignment within LC cells. Over the years, this technology has undergone numerous refinements, unlocking innovative applications in photonics. Today, it plays a vital role in optical signal processing, communications, and the development of LC-based sensors for detecting external electric fields, pressure, and even air and water flow—making them valuable tools for climate change monitoring.

In his presentation, Prof. Chigrinov will introduce a physical model of photoalignment and photopatterning grounded in rotational diffusion in solid azodye nanolayers. He will further showcase emerging applications in display and photonics, including:

  • High-speed, high-resolution LC displays (e.g., field sequential color ferroelectric LCDs)
  • LC sensors and LC lenses
  • Electrically and optically rewritable LC E-paper
  • Photo-induced semiconductor quantum rods alignment for next-gen displays
  • 100% polarizers based on photoalignment
  • LC smart windows with photopatterned diffraction structures
  • LC antennas with voltage-controlled frequency

Turning Near‑Infrared Dyes Into Visible Light Sources — Dr Oleg Dimitriev’s Nano‑Magic Revealed at MNano 2025

Near‑infrared (NIR) dyes usually hide their brilliance from the human eye, glowing quietly beyond the visible spectrum. Dr Oleg Dimitriev plans to change that story. At the upcoming International Congress on Materials Science & Nanotechnology (MNano 2025), he’ll unveil how carbon dots, plasmonic nanorods, sulfide nanoparticles, and MXene flakes coax NIR dyes to shine vividly from blue‑green to deep red.


1 ▸ What’s the Big Deal?

Classic Limitation Dimitriev’s Nano Fix
Anti‑Kasha (S₂) emission is too faint to detect Carbon nano dots anchor dye molecules → 10× jump in blue‑green fluorescence
Anti‑Stokes signals are weak Silica‑coated gold nanorods & Cu₂‑β‚“S@MSN align plasmon bands with dye emission → up to 50 % NIR boost
Hot‑band absorption hard to tune MXene nanoflakes with custom thermal emissivity act as nanoscale “thermostats”


2 ▸ How Could This Help?

  • Energy Up‑Conversion — harvest NIR waste light and convert it to visible.

  • Solar‑Cell Sensitizers — broaden sunlight capture for higher efficiency.

  • Smart Optical Sensors — temperature‑controlled MXene systems adjust signal in real time.

  • NIR/UV Displays — imagine night‑vision signage or covert communication panels.


3 ▸ Meet the Speaker

  • Title: Senior Scientist, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, Ukraine

  • Publications: 100+ papers, 2 popular‑science books

  • Awards: DAAD, Fulbright, JSPS Fellowships

  • Side Gig: Assistant Professor at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute

  • Superpower: Explaining photophysics without PowerPoint overload!
