Lyotropic Liquid Crystals

Liquid Crystals

Part of the book series: Topics in Physical Chemistry ((TOPPHYSCHEM,volume 3))

Abstract

Any discussion about “mesophases” and, especially, about “liquid crystals” might be thought of as dealing with only a marginal field of science. However, liquid crystals have in actuality become a consumer product with many everyday applications, substantiated by several examples in Chapter 6 as well as in Section 4.7 of this contribution. Additionally the variety of different structures exhibited by these phases of matter has attracted the attention of a diverse field of natural scientists and engineers, from both experimental and theoretical points of view.
