New directions in liquid crystal science
By Professor Duncan Bruce, Professor JW Goodby, Professor JR Sambles FRS and Professor HJ Coles
Liquid crystals are known to all the world in the form of liquid crystal displays, yet it is not widely appreciated that they also have applications as diverse as control of light in optical systems through sensor and artificial muscle to drug delivery and gene therapy. These less well-known aspects of liquid crystals will be addressed in this meeting.
