The use of twisted nematic displays in the evaluation of chirality and its effects at the molecular level

The work in this thesis can be divided into three areas: chirality and structure of dopants, host dependency and investigation of reaction pathways in the search for chiral induction. The ‘reverse-twist disclination’ method first reported by Raynes was used to determine the helical twisting power (H...
