Covers the progress of development of new liquid crystal polymers
Introduces new materials being procured from liquid crystalline polymers
Contains extensive details on real-world applications of a novel advanced class of liquid crystalline polymers
Drs. Vijay Kumar Thakur and Michael R. Kessler are both at the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Washington State University.
This book introduces various applications of liquid crystalline polymers as the emerging new class of high performance novel materials. The authors detail the advantageous properties of these LCs including optical anisotropic, transparency and easy control over structure. This interdisciplinary work includes valuable input from international projects with special focus on the use of liquid crystalline polymers and/or nanocomposites.
