Introduction to Liquid Crystals (eBook, ePUB)

Chemistry and Physics, Second Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Introduction to Liquid Crystals: Chemistry and Physics, Second Edition relies on only introductory level chemistry and physics as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal science. Liquid crystals combine the material properties of solids with the flow properties of fluids. As such they have provided the foundation for a revolution in low- power, flat-panel display technology LCDs. In this book, the essential elements of liquid crystal science are introduced and explained from the perspectives of the chemist, physicist and engineer.
