Abstract

Theories of a mean molecular field developed for nematic liquid crystals are discussed. Their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. The role of the order parameter in the description of a liquid crystalline phase is shown. The role of molecular dipole moments is underlined. Keywords: liquid crystals, order parameter, molecular theories, molecular dipole moment
