The area of liquid crystals has received substantial research effort over the last century, particularly when the beneficial applications such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) were realised and developed. For the majority of this time, it has been c... Read More about The synthesis and properties of achiral and chiral bent-core liquid crystals.

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
Hindmarsh, P. B. (1996). Investigation of the structure/property relationships in triphenylene discotic liquid crystals. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218169

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.

The synthesis and properties of liquid crystals for twisted nematic and ferroelectric displays (1990)
Thesis
