Description
Fundamentals of Mean Field Theories of Liquid Crystals offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to mean field approaches for understanding liquid crystalline systems, with a focus on rod-like molecules and polymeric liquid crystals. These theories form the foundation for describing the rich phase behavior of anisotropic fluids, which underpin soft matter physics and advanced materials science. Beginning with the classical Onsager and Maier-Saupe theories, the book develops a unified framewo
