Eutectic mixtures of nematic 4′-substitued 4-cyanobiphenyls

Abstract

A numerical technique has been used to predict eutectic compositions of some liquid crystal mixtures; good agreement was found with experimental results on mixtures of 4′-n-alkyl- and 4′-n-alkoxy-4-cyanobiphenyls some of which are nematic over the range 0–60 °C.
