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)

《液晶簡介：化學與物理（第二版）》僅依賴於初級化學和物理的基礎，以理解液晶科學。液晶結合了固體的材料特性與流體的流動特性。因此，它們為低功耗平面顯示技術（LCD）革命奠定了基礎。在本書中，液晶科學的基本要素從化學家和物理學家的角度進行介紹和解釋。這一新版僅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應屆畢業生。

**特色**
- 介紹並解釋液晶科學的基本要素，包括液晶如何被用於創新和重要應用的討論。本版新增了超過300幅圖表、90個章末練習題，以及涵蓋近期發展的擴展範圍。
- 結合了兩位該領域著名科學家的知識；他們已全面更新並擴展文本，以涵蓋本科/研究生課程以及目前在這個價值十億美元的產業中的研究。
- 使讀者沉浸於詞彙、結構、數據和動力學模型中，迅速建立對當前使用的理論和模型的理解。
- 以液晶發現的歷史為開端，接著描述如何產生不同的相以及不同的分子結構如何影響液晶特性。
