Liquid Crystalline Symposium

Abstract

Research in the physics, chemistry, and technology of liquid crystals (LCs) is alive and well, as demonstrated by the vitality of this recent LC symposium and the accompanying volume. While symposia focused on liquid crystal (LC) materials scienc have a strong tradition of excellence at MRS meetings, organizers and attendees of the Fall 2001 MRS Symposium CC agree that this was an especially excellent conference. Talks spanned a very diverse set of LC-related topics, ranging from reports on the latest hot research areas, including flexoelectrooptics, V-shaped switching, chiral discotics, and banana phases, to the most recent developments in LC-polymer composite systems and LC gels.
