Abstract
The physicochemical interpretation of boundary effects (role of elastic distortion and of interfacial chemical energy) and bulk ordering mechanisms in homeotropic liquid crystals are discussed.

Keywords: liquid crystals, anchoring potential, homeotropic orientation, boundary effects, elastic distortion
