Thermotropic and Thermo-optical Properties of Nematic Mesophase at Direct and Reverse Phase Transitions
Özet
Comparative investigations of the thermo-optical, thermotropic, and thermo-morphologic properties of aligned and non-aligned textures in the nematic mesophase over a large temperature interval and in regions of direct and reverse phase transitions between the nematic mesophase and the isotropic liquid have been carried out. The character of the optical transmission and adsorption coefficient has been compared with that of the texture transformations. Nonlinearity of the thermo-optical and thermotropic behavior at the nematic mesophase-isotropic liquid and isotropic liquid-nematic mesophase phase transitions has been observed. Differences in the temperatures of phase transitions for the aligned and non-aligned textures of the nematic liquid crystals have been found.
