Ferroelectric materials exhibit unusual electric properties which make them useful in modern (opto)electronic technology, esp. display technology.Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals, including also various polymer forms, are the hottest research topic today in liquid crystals. The field is at the very beginning of industrial exploitation - a sensitive phase in which a good reference work is needed and will have a broad spectrum of readers both at universiti 606 $aFerroelectric crystals 606 $aLiquid crystals 615 0$aFerroelectric crystals. 615 0$aLiquid crystals. 676 $a530.4/29 700 $aLagerwall$b Sven T$g(Sven Torbjorn)$01839018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911019793703321 996 $aFerroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals$94418133 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00876nam0 22002653i 450 001 ANA0076392 005 20251003044039.0 100 $a20231113d1944 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aeng 102 $agb 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 183 1$6z01$anc$2RDAcarrier 200 1 $aFederate or perish$fby John S.
