Liquid Crystals : Applications and Uses

"The authors for the subjects covered are of the best in their field. They were selected from many areas and allow the fields covered in the books to be seen from several viewpoints ... the different viewpoints make the books more well rounded and easier for a novice reader to appreciate ... Bahadur has done an excellent job in bringing together some of the best people working in the area of applications of LCs. The quality of the individual contributions is very high and in many cases I think they may be considered definitive reviews of the application areas they consider." Philip J Bos Optical Engineering, 1993 "The contents is sound and the volume completes an ambitious and useful survey of liquid crystals". Mike Wiltshire Physics World, 1993 "The third volume of the three volume series "Applications and Uses of Liquid Crystals" by Birendra Bahadur complements volume 1 and 2 by reviewing additional applications not covered there. Each of the chapters is written in an interesting manner with up-to-date references until about 1991. This renders the series suitable as a work of reference for those working in the field and as a text book for students interested in applications." M Schadt Molecular Crystals & Liquid Crystals, 1994 "Each chapter of this book provides a review of a specific field, therefore it will be of use and interest to both established liquid crystal engineers and scientists and those just entering this very broad area of science and technology ... this book, together with the two previous volumes, provides a timely and useful contribution to the literature on liquid crystals, which will be used by both scientists and engineers." Alan Mosley Displays, 1994
