USAF Applications of Liquid Crystal Materials.

Abstract

The current state-of-the-art in liquid crystals (LC) as electronic, electro-optic and diagnostic materials is examined with emphasis on unique properties and applications to USAF systems. Research in basic physical organic chemistry is suggested to fill gaps in the current knowledge of LCs which have limited their use in the above applications. A point-of-contact list of both DOD and non-government personnel involved in LC research is given together with a short description of the individual work effort. (Author)
