Chemistry of Discotic Liquid Crystals

From Monomers to Polymers

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fundamentally important as models for the study of energy and charge migration in self-organized systems, discotic liquid crystals find functional application as one-dimensional conductors, photoconductors, light emitting diodes, photovoltaic solar cells, field-effect transistors, and gas sensors. Compiling the scattered literature into a single work, this book describes the basic design principles, synthesis, and mesomorphic properties of discotic liquid crystals. The book highlights the scientific concepts behind the hierarchical self-assembly of these disc-shaped molecules alongside their commercial production and experimental and applied use in nanotechnology and other emerging fields.

Rezensionen

"Kumar's book will be a key resource and a "must buy" for all researchers involved in the synthesis and investigation of DLCs, because it combines information scattered over dozens of review articles in a single and concise volume. It will also aid those who cover DLCs in undergraduate and graduate courses by easing their search for key references on specific concepts of DLCs and discotic compounds."
