liquid crystal (sh)




Substance that flows like a liquid but maintains some of the ordered structure characteristic of a crystal.

Some organic substances do not melt directly when heated but instead turn from a crystalline solid to a liquid crystalline state. When heated further, a true liquid is formed. Liquid crystals have unique properties. The structures are easily affected by changes in mechanical stress, electromagnetic fields, temperature, and chemical environment.
