Surfaces and Interfaces of Liquid Crystals /

Show other versions (1)

This overview of the state of the art of our understanding of the liquid crystal-surface interactions on a molecular level describes recent research into the surface and interface properties of the substrate-liquid crystal interface. These properties play an essential role in the operation of liquid...
