Our group is
organized in 1997 as a constituent of Department
of Crystals of
Institute of Physics of National Academy of Sciences of
Ukraine, affiliated member of Liquid
Crystal Net. The
group leader is Dr. Oleg
V. Yaroshchuk. The main research activity of
the group concerns surface phenomena in liquid crystals, LC composites,
functional films (LC alignment films, optical retarders, polarizers,
diffusers, etc.), UV and particle beam modification of organic
materials, first of all liquid crystals and polymers.
