About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Special Issue, 'Liquid Crystals and Other Partially Disordered Molecular Systems' (Materials, MDPI), collates the latest advances in research on the molecular order, phase behavior and functional properties of complex soft matter systems. The collection includes works devoted to studying the structural and dielectric properties of anti- and ferroelectric liquid crystals and analyses of twisted and bent nematic phases, miscibility effects in bimesogenic systems, molecular-level interactions and dynamic processes as well as viscoelastic and dielectric response phenomena. Theoretical insights into the infrared spectral behavior of naphthalene-based dimers and the influence of particle size polydispersity on Yukawa crystals extend the scope of research to ordered and partially disordered condensed matter systems. Furthermore, the inclusion of research on powdered plasmid DNA complexes and crystalline structures with auxetic properties highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, combining molecular organization, material functionality and nanoscale architecture. These articles provide a comprehensive overview of current research directions and emerging challenges in materials science related to partial disorder, molecular self-organization and phase transitions. This Special Issue presents studies on the structure, dynamics and properties of materials with partial molecular order, aiming to advance the understanding of phase behavior and functionality in complex soft and hybrid systems.
