Thanks to all who responded to my query. I wasn't totally clear in my first
post that the professor in question wants to look at organic compounds
oriented in liquid crystals, as opposed to looking at the liquid crystals
themselves. Sorry for the confusion.
In any case, I got some useful leads as to specific LC materials
for such experiments, and where one might locate them.
Thanks again.
