Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystals

Sven T. Lagerwall Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystals The study of ferroelectricity is a branch of solid state physics which has shown rapid growth during the recent years. Ferroelectric materials exhibit unusual electric properties which make them useful in modern (opto)electronic technology, esp. display technology. Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals, including also various polymer forms, are the hottest research topic today in liquid crystals. The field is at the very beginning of industrial exploitation - a sensitive phase in which a good reference work is needed and will have a broad spectrum of readers both at universities and in industry.Lagerwall, Sven T. is the author of 'Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystals' with ISBN 9783527298310 and ISBN 3527298312.
