Advances in Liquid Crystals

Trans Tech Publications Inc, April 2010, Pages: 620

Series: Key Engineering Materials, Volumes 428 - 429

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2009 International Symposium on Liquid Crystal Science and Technology, August 2-5, Kunming, China, ISLCST2009

Liquid crystals are substances that have properties which are intermediate between those of a conventional liquid and those of a solid crystal. This special collection comprises peer-reviewed papers that are concerned with all aspects of liquid crystal science and technology. The volume consists of five parts: plenary lectures, the molecular design and synthesis of liquid crystals, the characterization of liquid crystals, the applications of liquid crystals, and the emerging technologies and materials relevant to information display.

The information contained in this special volume will serve both as an educational aid and as a technical guide for anyone involved with liquid crystals from the viewpoint of materials science, physics, chemistry and information display.
