Materials / States of matter

Materials scientists are often faced with the problem of modifying surfaces of objects, yet keeping their shape and properties.

A unique compendium of knowledge on all aspects of the texture of liquid crystals, providing not just detailed information on texture formation and determination, but also an in-depth discussion of different characterization methods.

While group theory and its application to solid state physics is well established, this textbook raises two completely new aspects.
