A pre-Conference tutorial program will be organized on Sunday, July 2, providing a concise
introduction to basic liquid crystal science and emerging research areas.
Twelve lectures (in two parallel sessions) will include:
-
Basic experimental methods (microscopy, materials properties, dielectric spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray scattering)
-
Emerging areas (simulations, synthesis, scanning probe microscopy, optical trapping, alignment)
