商品描述

Introduction to Liquid Crystals: Chemistry and Physics, Second Edition relies on only introductory level chemistry and physics as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal science. Liquid crystals combine the material properties of solids with the flow properties of fluids. As such they have provided the foundation for a revolution in low-power, flat-panel display technology (LCDs). In this book, the essential elements of liquid crystal science are introduced and explained from the perspectives of both the chemist and physicist. This new edition relies on only introductory level physics and chemistry as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal science and is, therefore, ideal for students and recent graduates.

Features

  • Introduces and explains the essential elements of liquid crystal science, including discussion of how liquid crystals have been utilized for innovative and important applications. New to this edition are over 300 figures, 90 end-of chapter exercises, and an increased scope that includes recent developments.
  • Combines the knowledge of two eminent scientists in the field; they have fully updated and expanded the text to cover undergraduate/graduate course work as well as current research in what is now a billion-dollar industry.
  • Immerses the reader in the vocabulary, structures, data, and kinetic models, rapidly building up an understanding of the theories and models in current use.
  • Begins with a historical account of the discovery of liquid crystals and continues with a description of how different phases are generated and how different molecular architectures affect liquid crystal properties.

 

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《液晶：化學與物理導論，第二版》依賴於初級化學和物理的基礎，以理解液晶科學。液晶結合了固體的物質特性和流體的流動特性。因此，它們為低功耗、平板顯示技術（LCD）的革命提供了基礎。本書從化學家和物理學家的角度介紹和解釋了液晶科學的基本要素。這本新版書籍依賴於初級物理和化學作為理解液晶科學的基礎，因此非常適合學生和最近畢業的學生。

特點：
- 介紹和解釋液晶科學的基本要素，包括討論液晶如何被用於創新和重要的應用。本版新增了超過300個圖片，90個章末練習，並擴大了範圍，包括最新的發展。
- 結合了兩位在該領域的知名科學家的知識；他們對文本進行了全面更新和擴展，涵蓋了本科/研究生課程以及當今價值數十億美元的行業的最新研究。
- 讓讀者沉浸在詞彙、結構、數據和動力學模型中，快速建立對當前理論和模型的理解。
- 從液晶的發現歷史開始，繼續描述不同相位的生成方式以及不同分子結構如何影響液晶的特性。
