- Summary:
- Because of their reduced dimensionality, smectic and lamellar liquid crystals have unique physical properties, challenging theoretical descriptions, and are the subject of much current research. One- and Two-Dimensional Fluids: Physical Properties of Smectic, Lamellar and Columnar Liquid Crystals offers a comprehensive review of these liquid crystal phases and their applications. Beginning with an overview of one- and two-dimensional fluids, it goes on to consider the basic structures of these materials and their dynamical and electrical properties, particularly the properties of smectics that offer exciting application possibilities in the displays industry.
