The use of polymers in medicine has become a reality over the last 10 years. Scientists have been attempting to develop biomimetic materials to substitute for flawed or damaged natural systems. This new book presents the most up-to-date developments in the use of synthetic polymers as biomaterials F
The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. <p> Chapters written by experts in the field
Text provides an overview of the range of existing applications of liquid crystals, and considers those currently in development. For graduate students or professionals in applied physics, optics and optoelectronics, and electronic engineering.
Information about the physics and chemistry of liquid crystals is easy to come by, but information about applications is generally limited to technical papers or conference proceedings. Here scientists from industry and academia describe current and future applications such as three-dimensional holo
