Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Liquid Crystals and Their Solutions.

Abstract

This is a brief summary of the liquid crystal research supported by ARO at Georgetown University during the past ten years. Research has been directed toward a more detailed understanding, on a molecular level, of the thermodynamic properties of (a) phase transitions in liquid crystals and (b) binary mixtures of nonmesomorphic solutes and nematic (or cholesteric) solvents.
