Surface Physics of Liquid Crystals

Surface Physics of Liquid Crystals

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

In addition to the physical aspects of the problems of interaction of liquid crystals with substrates (e.g. anchoring energy, contact angle, surface order parameter, van der Waals forces) production problems are also covered, such as methods of orienting liquid crystals.
Liquid crystals -- systems intermediating from the structural point of view between ordinary liquids and solid crystals -- are very sensitive to the action of any surface. This makes the interfacial phenomena in these substances extraordinarily variable and interesting. In this comprehensive monograph, the author presents a comprehensive review of the current state and potential future of the study of the surface of liquid crystals.
