Nanosegregated liquid crystals such as columnar, smectic, and bicontinuous cubic phases lead to self–organization of nanochannels capable of transporting ions, electrons, and molecules. Liquid–crystalline films with nanochannels have a great potential as solid–phase electrolyte and semiconductor, and separation membranes. The approaches to the development of ions, molecules, and electron conductors based on liquid–crystalline ordered nanostructures are described.
