Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation (1996)
Thesis
Cross, S. J. (1996). Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224363

In a ferroelectric liquid crystal small changes to the molecular structure can have significant effect upon the ferroelectric properties and mesomorphic behaviour. The addition of a substituent, which is both bulky and highly polar, to the aromatic c... Read More about Ferroelectric liquid crystals exhibiting a very high spontaneous polarisation.

Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals (1996)
Thesis

This thesis presents a detailed investigation of the relationship that exists between the molecular structure and the mesomorphic behaviour in discotic liquid crystals. This was achieved by the systematic alteration of the molecular architecture of o... Read More about Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals.

Chirality in liquid crystal systems has been of interest over the past twenty years. Recently, exciting results have been obtained in various smectic phases, i.e., the discovery of "Abrikosov" phases (TGBa* phases) and of antiferroelectric and ferrie...
