Despite the large quantity of phenomenological information concerning the bulk properties of nematic phase liquid crystals, little is understood about the origin of the surface energy, particularly the surface, interfacial, and anchoring properties of liquid crystals that affect the performance of liquid crystal devices. Adsorption Phenomena and Anchoring Energy in Nematic Liquid Crystals provides a unique, self-contained account of new and established results spanning three decades of research into the problems of anchoring energy and adsorption phenomena in liquid crystals. This is an excellent source of reference for anyone working with liquid crystals or complex fluids.

Presents an account of results into the problems of anchoring energy and adsorption phenomena in liquid crystals. This is suitable for those working with liquid crystals or complex fluids.
