Editorial Reviews

This field includes synthesists, theoretical physicists, classical physical chemists, polymer chemists, production engineers, and is now attracting the attention of optical scientists and specialists in microelectronics. Paper topics include comb-shaped liquid-crystal polymers, cholesteric type liquid-crystal polymers, phase equilibria in systems containing a liquid-crystalline phase, rheological properties, and high-strength and high-modulus fibers.
