Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that Dr. Robert Ramsey of RealD Me, Boulder, Colorado and I will be Guest Editors of a special volume of Polymers, “Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystals; Fundamental Principles, Materials, Technology, and Applications”. This volume will be published by MDPI publishers. As the proposed title suggests, this special volume will include contributions on a variety of topics on the physics and chemistry of relevant materials, technology, and applications of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals. We invite both detailed review articles and contributed papers on the recent important advances in the fundamental, as well as applied aspects of PDLCs. The submissions will go through standard practice of peer-review to ensure that they are scientifically relevant, well-organized, and clearly written in a style consistent with publications in MDPI journals.
Professor Suresh C Sharma
Dr. Robert Ramsey
