Liquid crystals are a state of matter sharing properties and symmetry associated with both
solids and liquids. They exhibit rheological behavior of liquids, anisotropic properties of …

Bent-Core Liquid Crystals

S Singh - Handbook of Liquid Crystals—Volume I: Foundations …, 2024 - Springer
In the year 1996, an unusual ferroelectric behavior of liquid crystals composed of achiral
bent-core (or banana-shaped) molecules was reported. Since then, the field of bent-core …

Stability of B 7 Fibers

P Bauman, D Phillips - Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
