Complex soft matter – liquid crystals and more
v sredo, 20. 4. 2016, ob 11:15 v predavalnici 0/46.1
Predavala bo prof. dr. Ewa Gorecka z Oddelka za kemijo Univerze v Varšavi. Predavanje bo v angleščini in bo trajalo eno šolsko uro.
Povzetek: Some new trends in liquid crystal science will be discussed. It is a common knowledge that liquid crystals are built from molecules having either linear or disc-like shape. However, in the last years there is a tendency to make liquid crystals form more complex molecules or even inorganic nanoparticles. Hybrid organic-inorganic materials have new properties that cannot be obtained by purely organic or inorganic materials.
