The condis crystal is a crystal with conformational disorder and ordering at the level of the whole molecule, and not at the level of the mesogene group, whereas the plastic crystal represents an orientational disorder at molecular scale. The fundamental 

Thermotropic liquid crystals were studied for the first time in the late 19th century. Initially, research focused on the structural characterization and classification of liquid crystals [11]. Also, various theories [12] were implemented on viscosity [13], elasticity constant [14], etc. Major progress has been recorded in the year 1960, driven by practical applications of liquid crystals with main [15, 16] and side chains [16, 17].

Phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are converted to a variety of important compounds in plants. The rigid polymer lignin, derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine, is second only to cellulose in abundance in plant tissues. The structure of the lignin polymer is complex and not well understood. Tryptophan is also the precursor of the plant growth hormone indole-3-acetate, or auxin (Fig. 22-28a), which has been implicated in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes in plants. 

Membrane Filters. The cellulose-derivative membrane filters, as we know them, have been available since 1927 and are now commonplace [29,32,35-38]. The classic membrane filters are prepared by means of a colloid chemical process gelation of concentrated colloidal solutions of polymers and removal of solvent to leave pores. Although porous, in practice they differ from the capillary model of a pore in that their stmcture is not regular. A classic membrane filter has three different structures the upper surface structure, the inner structure, and the lower surface stmcture [29,35-38]. These filters contain tortuous channels, and the pore sizes inside the filter are larger than those on the surface of a membrane filter. The diameters of these channels can be closely controlled during manufacture. The mechanisms involved in the capture of...
