Resumen:

Liquid crystallinity in rigid or semirigid polymers emerges in sufficiently concentrated solutions (lyotropic) or at sufficiently low temperatures (thermotropics); some liquid crystal polymers exhibit both thermotropic and lyotropic behavior. The key characteristics of liquid crystalline polymers such as self-assembly, packing, defects, functionalities, processability are discussed. Liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are found in industrial applications, technology and throughout nature and their theoretical and computational characterization as presented in this chapter serves as a basis for process and material innovation in synthetic and biological materials. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
