Summary
With their helical structure, cholesteric liquid crystals figure prominently in liquidcrystal science. The selective reflection of light is their flagship property, and theyoffer a myriad of applications as advanced optical materials with multiscaleproperties. The cholesteric structure is also a ubiquitous design in the animal andplant kingdoms. This book contains eight contributions on fundamentalinvestigations about defects, textures and structures of cholesteric materials, andexperimental studies aimed at applications such as temperature sensors, headupdisplays for improving automobile driving safety, or smart windows.
