Abstract
AbstractIn this review of the properties and applications of mesophases, after a general description of the states of aggregation of matter, the types of liquid crystals are distinguished. The thermotropic liquid crystals are classified on the basis of their structural properties. A comparison of sets of chemically related molecules indicates how details of molecular structure (topology and conformation) affect the existence and sequence of mesophases for the lath‐like thermotropic mesogens.
