Rapid conformational analysis of semi-flexible liquid crystals. (2024)
Journal Article
HOBBS, J.L., GIBB, C.J., CRUICKSHANK, E., WALKER, R. and MANDLE, R.J. 2024. Rapid conformational analysis of semi-flexible liquid crystals. Liquid crystals [online], Latest Articles. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/02678292.2024.2333323

We present an approach for rapid conformational analysis of semi-flexible liquid crystals. We use a simple graphical user interface (GUI) tool that leverages rules-based methods for efficient generation of bend-angle distributions, offering a signifi...
