Liquid Crystalline Polymers

The 2006 Edition Of This Authoritative Guide On Liquid Crystalline Polymer (Lcp) Science Was Produced In Response To The Wealth Of New Material Generated In The Field. It Takes The Reader Through The Theoretical Underpinnings To Real-World Applications Of Lcp Technology In A Logical Well-Integrated Manner. A Chapter On Liquid Biopolymers Has Been Introduced Whilst The In-Depth Discussion On Applications Describes Not Only Maturing Fields Of High Strength Structural Lcps But Also A Detailed Analysis Of The Developing Area Of Functional Materials. The In-Depth Coverage And Detailed Glossary Establishes This As An Indispensable Text For Graduate Students And Researchers In The Polymer Field As Well As Being Of Interest To Those Working In Chemistry Physics And Materials Science.
