GW Gray, FRS, is Professor of Organic Chemistry, University of Hull. He is the author of a considerable number of papers on various aspects of liquid crystals, notably their synthesis, applications and smectic polymorphism. His lifelong contribution to this field has been recognized in several awards, notably the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement.
J W Goodby collaborated with Professor G W Gray in post-doctoral research on the smectic polymorphism of a range of new materials. He is an internationally acknowledged expert on the polymorphism of smectic liquid crystals, and is currently involved in various aspects of liquid crystal research at A T &. T Bell Laboratories in the USA.
