Rotational model for nematic phase stability of fluorinated phenylbicyclohexane liquid crystals.

Abstract:

:A mechanical molecular rotation model for liquid crystal (LC) systems is employed to evaluate phase transition temperature of fluorinated phenylbicyclohexane isomeric LC compounds. Results show that when a fluorine atom is substituted along the molecular long axis, an LC molecule acquires high rotational speed and its rotation becomes stable, thereby resulting in a better thermal stability of the nematic phase. A novel explanation is proposed for the behavior of the nematic-isotropic phase of the LC system when a heavy atom is substituted along the molecular long axis.
