Liquid crystals of the twenty-first century–nematic phase of bent-core molecules
A Jákli - Liquid Crystals Reviews, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Bent-core (BC) materials that form nematic liquid crystals (BC nematics (BCNs)) are known
only since 2000, but since then they have been intensively studied. In this review we give a …
