The process of detailed research of the transient process, which takes place in the sensitive element of the liquid crystal sensor during interaction with acetone vapors, is described. The abrupt transition of the liquid crystal to the isotropic state is one of the main obstacles which prevents the construction of an acetone liquid crystal sensor. A mixture of nematic liquid crystal E7 and cholesteric impurity CB15 was used as a sensitive element.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
