The confluence of the fields of liquid crystals and biomedical
engineering is resulting in remarkable interdisciplinary research.
This book focuses on the potential for inherently translational
research in one field of engineering to radically alter the scope
of another. The text reviews the exciting advances being made in
displays, spectroscopy, sensors and diagnostics, biomimicking,
actuators and lasers with regards to liquid crystalline materials,
and biomedicine. The liquid crystal field which has delivered
revolutionary devices in the display, optics, and
telecommunications industries is now poised to make significant
inroads into biology, medicine, and biomedical engineering.
