Abstract

In the paper, dielectric properties of liquid crystals, especially the nematic phase, arediscussed. An outline of the development of theories describing these properties is presented. Thestatic theory of dielectric permittivity of anisotropic nematic liquid crystals on Onsager, Maier andMeier approach is discussed in details. In this view, anisotropic properties of dielectric permittivityof nematics as well parameters describing these properties are presented.Keywords: material science, liquid crystals, nematics, dielectric permittivity, electron polarisability,constant and induced dipole moment of molecule, vectors of electric field intensity, induction andpolarisation in nematic phase.
