Abstract
An overview of the present knowledge about the effect of ionizing radiation on properties of cholesteric liquid crystals is given. It includes the effects caused by either electromagnetic radiation or particles. Particular attention has been paid to the liquid-crystalline properties of cholesterol derivatives and their mixtures including non-mesogenic dopants. Some of the results are published for the first time.
