Phase transitions in lyotropic colloidal and polymer liquid crystals

G J Vroege, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1992 - 
TL;DR: An overview of theory and experiments on liquid crystal phases which appear in solutions of elongated colloidal particles or stiff polymers is given in this article, along with extensions to polydisperse solutions and soft interactions.

Phase transitions in liquid crystals

Shri Singh
- 01 Feb 2000 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of phase transition studies can be found in this article, where the authors identify the essential key concepts and points of difficulty associated with the study of phase transitions and discuss the most widely used experimental techniques for measuring these transition properties.

Liquid-crystalline ordering in the solution of long persistent chains

Alexei R. Khokhlov, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1981 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the Onsager method was used to study the orientational ordering in the solution of long persistent macromolecules, and it was shown that the liquid-crystalline transition occurs at significantly higher concentrations and that the order parameter at the transition point is much smaller than for the model of freely-jointed segments.

Liquid crystal polymers

Claudine Noël, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a broad classification of nematic, cholesteric and smectic phases of LCPs is given, and the emphasis is on providing a broad perspective of the remarkable properties of these materials rather than a detailed and rigorous treatment of selected topics.
