Thermotropic Liquid-Crystalline Polymers, Re-Entrant and Discotic Liquid Crystals. A Bibliography for 1977–1984

Abstract

This bibliography contains bibliographic data of books and papers concerning the thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers, re-entrant and discotic liquid crystals for 1977–1984 years. The bibliography of the thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers contains also bibliographic data of papers describing both the thermotropic and lyotrophic behavior of the liquid-crystalline polymers, liquid-crystalline melts, solutions of thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers, solutions of polymer chains in a nematic solvent and some polymerization problems. In this bibliography are included also bibliographic data of papers which according to the citation in the literature are important for the study of both the thermotropic and lyotropic liquid-crystalline polymers. In the bibliography of the re-entrant liquid crystals (at atmospheric pressure) are included the papers published after the first work in this field of Cladis (Phys. Rev. Lett. 35, 48–51 (1975)) up to the end of 1984 year. Similarly, in the bibliography of the discotic liquid crystals are included the papers published after the first work of Chandrasekhar, Sadashiva and Suresh (Pramana 9, 477–480, (1977)) also up to the end of 1984 year.
