Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liquid crystal (LC) materials and their applications have been developing in academia and in different industries for several decades due to their valuable characteristics. In addition to display applications in people’s daily life, the topics focusing on any novel LC-based functional materials, including derivatives, monomers, polymers, azobenzenes, micro-/nano-particles, porous materials, chiral dopants, gelators, rods, dyes, ionic materials, surfactants, metals, and others, as well as electro-optical applications, such as lasers, antennae, lenses, sensors, thermometers, optical diodes, phase retarders, shutters, waveguides, novel optical components or devices, etc., are covered by this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
