The molecular dynamics of polymers and liquid crystals (see figure) affect the properties of these materials. The different modes of, for example, relaxation can be studied to great effect using a modern version of an old spectroscopic method—dielectric spectroscopy—which makes use of molecular dipoles to gain an insight into these processes.
