Dielectric and viscous properties of mesogenic n-nonylcyanobiphenyl (9CB)

TL;DR: Static and dynamic linear dielectric properties and shear viscosity of freely flowing 9CB in the isotropic (I), nematic (N) and smectic A (S(A)) phases were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-transitional temperature behaviour of the shear viscosity of freely flowing thermotropic liquid crystals†

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of experimental results on the shear viscosity of freely flowing nematic liquid crystals and the mixtures exhibiting a reentrant nematic phase is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rheological investigations on cholesterol derivative mesogens

TL;DR: In this paper , rheological investigations on cholesteryl bromide (CB) and Cholesteryl 2-(ethoxy-ethoxy) ethyl carbonate (CEEEC) were carried out and the viscoelastic properties of both mesogens are strongly temperature dependent.

The Three Coefficients of Viscosity of Anisotropic Liquids

Miesowicz M
- 06 Jul 1946 - 
TL;DR: Having given the molecules an orientation by means of a magnetic field in such circumstances that the flow did not change this orientation, the following values are obtained for the three principal viscosity coefficients for p-azoxyanisol and p-AZoxyphenetol.

High-Resolution X-Ray-Scattering Study of the Nematic-Smectic A -Reentrant Nematic Transitions in 8OCB/6OCB Mixtures

TL;DR: In this article, identical pretransitional smectic behavior is reported in both normal and reentrant nematic phases of mixtures of octyloxycyanobiphenyl (8OCB) and hexyloxycyclic-cyclic (6OCB).
Journal ArticleDOI

Shear and rotational viscosity coefficients of two nematic liquid crystals

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for the measurement of the shear viscosity coefficients η1, η2, and η3 of nematic liquid crystals is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The shear viscosity minimum of freely flowing nematic liquid crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of temperature dependence of the shear viscosity of freely flowing nematic liquid crystals was performed and it was shown that the anisotropic fluid adopts such a manner of flow, which corresponds to the minimum of its viscosities at given conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Static and dynamic dielectric behavior of mesogenic compounds of different polarity in the vicinity of the isotropic to nematic phase transition.

TL;DR: Mesogenic compounds belonging to the two well-known -cyanophenyl, and -isothiocyanatophenyl homologous series, show an essential difference in the pretransitional dielectric behavior in the vicinity of the isotropic to nematic (I-N) phase transition.
