Neal Scruggs

Block Copolymers in Liquid Crystal Solvents

Coupling Polymer Viscoelasticity to Liquid Crystalline Order

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Liquid crystals enjoy a wide range of technological
applications, perhaps the best-known being the LCD,
or liquid crystal display. When combined with
polymeric materials the resulting solutions have a
range of physical properties not present in either
material alone and this coupling imparts useful
properties such as novel electro-optic switching
combined with easy processability. This book
explores the relationships between polymers and
liquid crystals through experimental investigations
of their solutions.
