Unit15 Polymer Liquid Crystals 高分子液晶 Introduction 介绍聚合物液晶 Polymer liquid crystals (PLCs) are a class of materials that combine the properties of polymers with those of liquid crystals. These hybrids show the same mesophases characteristic of ordinary liquid crystals, yet retain many of the useful and versatile properties of polymers.高分子液晶是一类结合了聚合物和液晶性质的材料。这些杂化材料展现普通液晶的介晶相特点同时也保持一些聚合物的有用的和多才多艺的性质。 In order for normally flexible polymers to display liquid crystal characteristics, rod-like or disk-like elements (called  HYPERLINK javascript:Glossary(mesogen,400,175) mesogens) must be incorpora
