Much more than a slight revision, this second edition of the successful “Handbook
of Liquid Crystals” is completely restructured and streamlined, with updated
as well as completely new topics, 100% more content and a new team of editors and
authors. As such, it fills the gap for a definitive, single source reference for all those
working in the field of organized fluids and will set the standard for the next decade.
The Handbook’s new structure facilitates navigation and combines the presentation of
the content by topic and by liquid-crystal type.
A fundamentals volume sets the stage for an understanding of the liquid crystal state of
matter, while individual volumes cover the main types and forms, with a final volume
bringing together the diverse liquid crystal phases through their applications.
This unrivaled, all-embracing coverage represents the undiluted knowledge on liquid
crystals, making the Handbook a must-have wherever liquid crystals are investigated,
produced or used, and in institutions where their science and technology is taught. |
