Review on Liquid Crystals and their Chemical Applications

Nagham Mahmood, Wijdan Kamal Noor Al-Qraawy, Manar Ghyath Abd Almutalib Almosawy

Abstract


These review covers chemistry of compounds, the chemistry of states of matter is concerned with
chemical compounds that include in their composition properties of liquid crystals as the research of
liquid crystalline materials is undergoing the renaissance of the modern era. Devices and
configurations based on liquid crystalline materials are being developed for spectroscopy and
microscopy, leading to new techniques for optical exploration of biological systems. Biological
sensors constructed with liquid crystal materials can allow label-free observations of biological
phenomena. Liquid crystalline polymers are beginning to be used to simulate color-producing
structures, lenses, and actuators., Liquid crystalline materials are often referred to as a peculiar
phase of matter, but its influence on modern technology has been profound. With their discovery roots
in cholesterol derivatives, liquid crystals are substances that biologists and biomedical engineers
consider and deal with daily.
Keywords: liquid crystals, state of material, chemistry of compounds, Crystalline material,
Cholesterol derivatives.
