    This document discusses different types of liquid crystals categorized by their molecular mass and shape. Thermotropic liquid crystals have high molecular mass and can be side chain or main chain polymers, while lyotropic have low molecular mass. Different phases are described including nematic, smectic, and columnar phases that have varying degrees of order and molecular orientations.
