This review highlights research topics like chiral phases (cholesterics, blue phases and polar phases), structural variations of the mesogens (kinked mesogens, polyphilic mesogens) and various aspects of liquid crystalline polymers. It closes by describing recent aspects like LC-materials from renewable resources, experiments in the ISS and ferroelectric nematic phases.
