Reihe: Liquid Crystals Book Series

Bent-Shaped Liquid Crystals: Structures and Physical Properties provides insight into the latest developments in the research on liquid crystals formed by bent-shaped mesogens. After a historical introduction, the expert authors discuss different kinds of mesophase structures formed by bent-shaped molecules. This book devotes the majority of its pages to physical properties such as polar switching, optics and non-linear optics, and behavior in restricted geometries. However, as chemistry is often highly relevant to the emergence of new phases, particularly with reflection symmetry breaking, it also involves a broad spectrum of interesting chemistry viewpoints.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Hideo Takezoe is one of the discoverers of antiferroelectric liquid crystals and polar switching in bent-shaped liquid crystals. Due to his wide-area of achievement in such fields, he has received many awards, such as the Humboldt Research Award (2013) and Freederiksz medal (2014). He has been an honored member of the International Liquid Crystal Society since 2012.

Dr. Alexey Eremin is one of the discoverers of the orthogonal antiferroelectric smectic phase formed by bent-shaped molecules. For his achievements on bent-shaped liquid crystals, he was awarded the Glenn Brown Prize of the International Liquid Crystal Society and the Otto Lehman Award of the Otto-Lehman-Stiftung at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
