Cross-linked Liquid Crystalline Systems from Rigid Polymer Networks to Elastomers

With rapidly expanding interest in liquid crystalline polymers and elastomers among the liquid crystal community, researchers are currently exploring the wide range of possible application areas for these unique materials, including optical elements on displays, tunable lasers, strain gauges, micro-structures, and artificial muscles. Written by respected scientists from academia and industry around the world, who are not only active in the field but also well-known in more traditional areas of research, Cross-Linked Liquid Crystalline Systems: From Rigid Polymer Networks to Elastomers presents important aspects of this field, covering carefully selected topics in an accessible way.Broer, Dirk is the author of 'Cross-linked Liquid Crystalline Systems from Rigid Polymer Networks to Elastomers', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420046229 and ISBN 1420046225.
