Liquid crystals with novel terminal chains as ferroelectric hosts (2000)
Thesis
Cosquer, G. Y. Liquid crystals with novel terminal chains as ferroelectric hosts. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223925

Changes to the molecular structure of liquid crystals can have a significant effect upon their mesomorphism and ferroelectric properties. Most of the research in liquid crystal for display applications concentrates on the design and synthesis of nove... Read More about Liquid crystals with novel terminal chains as ferroelectric hosts.

Antiferroelectric and ferroelectric smectic C side chain liquid crystal polymers (1996)
Thesis
Pringle, S. Antiferroelectric and ferroelectric smectic C side chain liquid crystal polymers. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223931

Chirality in liquid crystals has been of increasing interest over the past twenty five years. More recently interesting results have been obtained in the area of chiral smectic liquid crystals with the discovery of Twist Grain Boundary (TGB), antifer...

The synthesis and properties of liquid crystals for twisted nematic and ferroelectric displays (1990)
Thesis
Hird, M. The synthesis and properties of liquid crystals for twisted nematic and ferroelectric displays. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223916

This thesis is concerned with the synthesis, characterisation and physical properties of liquid crystal materials which (i) improve the switching speeds and multiplexability of twisted and supertwisted nematic display devices, (ii) exhibit the smecti...
