Modelling liquid crystalline ordering in anisotropic and inhomogeneous fluids : from simple models of rod- and disc-like particles to polypeptides
A liquid crystal (LC) is a substance that exhibits phases intermediate between a crystal and a disordered liquid state. LCs have attracted longstanding research interest because of their potential commercial applications in opto-electronics, pharmaceuticals and surfactants but also because ordered s...
