摘要：

Thermotropic biaxial nematic phases of low molar mass mesogens are highly sougth materials not only for liquid crystal display technology. Recent progress in molecular design, synthesis, experimental methods to study biaxiality and theory gave occassion to organise a symposium on biaxial liquid crystals in Kent. The stimulating interdisplinary discussion shows that this challanging field of research is in his dawn.
