    Description

    The 2006 edition of this authoritative guide on liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) science was produced in response to the wealth of new material generated in the field. It takes the reader through the theoretical underpinnings to real-world applications of LCP technology in a logical, well-integrated manner. A chapter on liquid biopolymers has been introduced, whilst the in-depth discussion on applications describes not only maturing fields of high strength structural LCPs, but also a detailed analysis of the developing area of functional materials. The in-depth coverage and detailed glossary establishes this as an indispensable text for graduate students and researchers in the polymer field, as well as being of interest to those working in chemistry, physics and materials science.

    • A comprehensive text aimed at explaining the fundamental science of liquid crystalline polymers to a broad audience
    • A detailed glossary of terms, designed to aid specialists in polymers or liquid crystals
    • Details the subject matter from theoretical underpinning through experimental observations to real-world applications

    Powder Diffraction

    : Journal

    Powder Diffraction is a quarterly journal published by the JCPDS-International Centre for Diffraction Data through Cambridge University Press. Powder Diffraction is a journal of practical technique, publishing articles relating to the widest range of application—from materials analysis to epitaxial growth of thin films and to the latest advances in software. Although practice is emphasized, theory is not neglected, especially as its discussion relates to better understanding of technique.2015 Impact Factor: 0.763
