Opis

This book describes the basic design principles, synthesis and mesomorphic properties of discotic liquid crystals. It highlights the scientific concepts behind the hierarchical assembly of these disc-shaped molecules alongside their commercial production and use in nanotechnology and other emerging fields.

Recenzje

"Kumar's book will be a key resource and a "must buy" for all researchers involved in the synthesis and investigation of DLCs, because it combines information scattered over dozens of review articles in a single and concise volume. It will also aid those who cover DLCs in undergraduate and graduate courses by easing their search for key references on specific concepts of DLCs and discotic compounds."
—S. Holger Eichhorn, University of Windsor, in Journal of the American Chemical Society, April 2011
