چکیده
Densities of binary mixtures of 4,4’-dipentylazoxybenzene (DPAB) and 4-ethyl-4’-pentylazoxybenzene (EPAB) with 4-pentyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl (PCB) were measured over the temperature range of 25 to 80 °C and in the middle area of concentrations. Isothermal volumes of mixing Vs (equal to the excess volume VE when both pure components and solution are in the same phase) were also calculated from interpolated molar volumes. Isobaric thermal expansion coefficients were also calculated for one of the mixture concentrations EPAB + PCB. The presence of a molecular A-B complex has been confirmed. J.

Order and conformation of biphenyl in cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals: a combined atomistic molecular dynamics and 1H NMR study.
The alignment of biphenyl (2P) in the liquid-crystal phases of 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) is investigated by using a combination of predictive atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and (1)H liquid-crystal nuclear magnetic resonance (LXNMR) residual dipolar coupling measurements. A detailed comparison and validation of the MD results with LXNMR...
متن کاملBilayers in nanoparticle-doped polar mesogens.
Structures of the mesophases of five members of the 4-n-alkyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl homologous series (4-n-butyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl to 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl) doped with milled BaTiO_{3} nanoparticles were investigated by x-ray scattering. Clear solutions of each of the 4-n-alkyl-4'-cyanobiphenyls were first prepared in n-heptane and then doped with an n-heptane/nanoparticle dispersion, which led ...
متن کاملAn atomistic description of the nematic and smectic phases of 4-n-octyl-4' cyanobiphenyl (8CB).
We report the results of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of 4-n-octyl-4' cyanobiphenyl (8CB) on samples of 750 and 3000 molecules showing the spontaneous formation of the nematic phase and then of smectic layers by gradually cooling down from the isotropic phase. Orientational, positional, and mixed order parameters, layer spacing, translational diffusion tensor components and their te...
متن کاملNew Syntheses.the Liquid Crystal Properties of Some New Mesogens
The 4'-n-alkyl-4-cyanobiphenyls and 4'-n-alkoxy-4-cyanobiphenyls provide colourless liquid crystal phases which are chemically and photochemically stable. In many cases, the mesophases are produced at quite low temperatures, and indeed two members of the n-alkyl series are nematic at room temperature. Eutectic mixtures prepared from members of the two series give wide nematic ranges, e. g., fro...
متن کاملInteractive effects of environmentally relevant polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins on [3H]phorbol ester binding in rat cerebellar granule cells.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent contaminants that exist as complex mixtures in the environment. One problem faced by risk assessors is that the possible interactive effects of specific PCB congeners and related chemicals found in environmental and biological samples have not been systematically investigated. Some PCBs perturb Ca2+ homeostasis and cause protein kinase C (PKC) tra...
