Description
The field of liquid crystals covers more subjects in science and technology than the ubiquitous slogan "LCD" might imply.
This book gives a thorough introduction to the chemistry behind this interdisciplinary field of research, and will be especially useful for any researcher involved in the development of new liquid crystal applications as well as for graduate students entering the field.
