The International Symposium on Liquid Crystalline Science and Technology (ISLCST2009) will be held during August 2-6, 2009 in Kunming, China. The purpose is to provide opportunities for liquid crystal scientists, researchers, and engineers around the world to present their pioneering works and exchange their ideas with each other. During the conference, advancements in all aspects of liquid crystals will be covered. Proceedings will be published in one special volume of the periodical Key Engineering Materials by Trans Tech Publications, which widely indexed by Ei Compendex, ISI (ISTP), Elsevier SCOPUS, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA), Chemical Abstracts (CA), and Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE).
