Material Detail

This video lab manual, by the Interdisciplinary Education Group of the University of Wisconsin ��_�__ Madison Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), walks students through the process of preparing cholesteryl ester liquid crystals. The chief advantage of liquid crystals, which change colors according to temperature changes, is their "ability to map out thermal regions of different temperature." Each step of the procedure is detailed and accompanied with a video showing the step as it is performed. A brief background of the procedure, and the necessary safety and laboratory materials are also given. This is a very clear and detailed resource for students to explore nanotechnology and advanced materials science through hands-on laboratory activities. A printer-friendly version with an example image for each step is available, perfect for a handout in a class without enough computers for all students.
