Abstract:
A conceptually new approach for developing methods of control of liquid crystals is discussed. The approach is based on modifying surface anchoring. A brief review of the authors’ research on developing ionic-surfactant control of liquid crystalline materials is described. This approach is based on the effect of electrically induced modification of the boundary conditions by ions of surface-active compounds.
