Publisher's Synopsis
Filling a gap in current literature, Liquid Crystals in Materials Chemistry focuses on non–traditional areas of liquid crystal materials that are experiencing a significant growth in research activity. The book consists of reviews and articles highlighting recent progress in different areas of liquid crystals research, targeting three areas of contemporary liquid crystal research: nanostructured materials and liquid crystals, liquid crystalline materials for organic electronics, and light–driven materials based on liquid crystals. Authors Eichhorn and Williams address structure–property issues that are significant to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and chemical and mechanical engineers.
