AbstractBy EPR, two nematic liquid crystals (MBCA and EPAPU) were investigated using a steroidal nitroxide spin probe. In both liquid crystals the isotropic-nematic phase transition is of first order. The observed variation of the order parameter with temperature is compared with predictions from the Maier-Saupe and Humphries-James-Luckhurst models and with results obtained by several other experimental techniques.

Abstract A procedure for determining the transition temperatures of liquid crystals is described which is based on observation of the electrical conductivity as a function of temperature. It is found in particular that plotting the function d lg x/dT against the temperature gives a resolution and a sensitivity comparable to that of thermal methods of analysis (DTA and DSC). Dynamic orientation effects of the liquid crystals in the sample cell which usually lead to an increase in sensitivity are discussed. The phase diagram of the system 4,4ʹ-di-n-pentyloxy-azoxybenzene/4,4ʹ-di-n-heptyloxy-azoxybenzene determined using the electrical conductivity method is presented.
