Résumé

The authors are the pioneering theorists in this field... The coverage of relevant material is generally quite exceptional and impressive...very up-to-date with regard to nearly all aspects of research, both theoretical and experimental, on the properties of liquid crystalline elastomers.

Robert Pelcovits, Brown University

Liquid crystal elastomers are an entirely new physical system with unique properties occupying a transitional zone between liquids and solids. This book is the foundation treatise in this emerging field of combined chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering. It reviews experimental techniques and results and describes theoretical ideas, illustrating them by solved examples and nearly 200 figures. In addition, the book reviews the foundations of the field: the physics of liquid crystals, polymer physics and foundations of elasticity, thus making a useful and concise reference source.

First monograph in a rapidly expanding scientific field.
Cross-disciplinary material, bridging several disciplines.
Authored by pioneers in the field.
Good primer and reference source for many broad areas of physics.
Includes many illustrations and worked examples.

Readership: Graduates and researchers in chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, material science and engineering.
