Phase Diagram and Molecular Ordering of Dimer Liquid Crystals Dissolved in a Simple Nematic Solvent

Identification of the Nematic Spacer Conformation

  • Conference paper
Ordering in Macromolecular Systems

Abstract

The RIS analysis of the deuterium quadrupolar splitting data have been performed for ether-type dimer liquid crystals NCPh2O(CD2)nOPh2CN (DLC) with n = 9 and 10 according to the simulation scheme previously established. The orientational as well as conformational characteristics of DLCs have been investigated under various conditions including binary mixtures with a low-molar-mass liquid crystal EtOPhCH=NPhCN. In the DLC systems studied, the intervening spacer -O(CH2)nO- was found to take spatial arrangements characteristic of the nematic phase. The nematic conformation thus identified remains quite stable over a wide range of concentration and temperature.
