DESCRIPTION
This short text has been written to provide information about liquid crystals and polymers. An attempt has been made to include those concepts which are being prescribed in the B.Sc. and M.Sc. syllabi introduced by U.G.C. A sincere effort has been made to develop every concept in this text in the light of recent development. Wherever necessary, the line diagrams have been included to make the subject more interesting.
