Advances in Liquid Crystals, Volume 5 is a collection of scientific essays that focuses on the developments and applications in the field of liquid crystal science. The text begins with an article about the role of liquid crystals in living systems. The subjects covered in this article include the properties of phospholipids, lipid order parameters, lipid diffusion, and the movements of proteins in model and natural biomembranes. The second essay discusses the use of Mossbauer techniques to lyotropic liquid crystals. Such a method provides a list of characteristics of the crystals in focus. Another topic of interest is the theoretical and experimental aspects of microemulsions. The section that follows describes the carbonaceous mesophases and disclination structures. Types of disclination such as wedge disclination, twist disclinations, and disclinations arrays are covered. The neutron incoherent scattering is the focus of the last essay in the book. The book will provide valuable insights for scientists, developer of crystal displays, students, and researchers in the field of chemistry.
