Liquid Crystals Today

Aims & Scope

Since its launch in 1990, Liquid Crystals Today , the quarterly newsletter of the International Liquid Crystal Society, has been welcomed by the liquid crystal community as a unique forum for feature articles, book reviews, conference reports and various news items relating to liquid crystal scientists, events and developments.

The journal greatly encourages the submission of research articles on all liquid crystal related topics from chemistry to physics, engineering to the biological and materials sciences.
