Abstract
The relationship between molecular structure and intermolecular interactions on the one hand, and the organization and orientational order of liquid crystals on the other, is certainly a very important issue in both theoretical and experimental research with possible spin offs for technological applications such as the design of molecular constituents that lead to ordered materials with optimal macroscopic properties. Starting from the early theories of Onsager [1] that describe excluded volume effects, and of Maier and Saupe [2, 3] that rely on an approximate representation of dispersion forces, there have been many developments aimed at getting a better understanding of the different aspects of such a general problem. Efforts have concentrated on the improvement of statistical methods that are able to rationalize the order phenomena originating from anisotropic interactions (see Chapter 12). The attainment of such an objective has often required a schematic representation of the molecular entities, for instance approximating molecules as ellipsoids, rods or piles of spheres.
