| Sumario: | This document is the first published by the IUPAC Commission on
Macromolecular Nomenclature dealing specifically with liquid crystals. Because
of the breadth of its scope, it has been prepared in collaboration with representatives
of the International Liquid Crystal Society.
The document gives definitions of terms related to low-molar-mass and polymer
liquid crystals. It relies on basic definitions of terms that are widely used in
the field of liquid crystals and in polymer science. The terms are arranged in five
sections dealing with general definitions of liquid-crystalline and mesomorphic
states of matter, types of mesophases, optical textures and defects of liquid crystals,
the physical characteristics of liquid crystals (including electro-optical and
magneto-optical properties), and finally liquid-crystal polymers. The terms that
have been selected are those most commonly encountered in the conventional
structural, thermal, and electro-optical characterization of liquid-crystalline materials. |
