“…Perhaps it was coincidental that a report of the first room-temperature nematic liquid crystal N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-n-butyl aniline (MBBA) was published later in 1969. [5] The preparation of this compound was a significant step, since it permitted much more extensive investigations of the physical properties of a nematic phase. However, the material was far from perfect.…”

“…The synthesis of 4-methoxybenzylidene-49-butylaniline (MBBA) by Kelker and Scheurle [7] yielded the first liquid crystalline compound with a nematic phase at room temperature. Currently, this compound is one of the three most extensively studied liquid crystalline substances.…”

The liquid-crystalline polymorphism of the homologous series of 4-hexyloxybenzylidene-49-alkyloxyanilines is investigated. Basing on the polarization microscopy (POM, TOA), the DSC calorimetry and miscibility studies the following mesophases were detected: nematic, smectic A, smectic C and smectic I. The phase diagrams of the compounds of these series with 4-hexyloxybenylidene-49-pentylaniline (as the standard of mesophases) show induction of the smectic F mesophases. Their dependence on the alkyl chain length and mole fraction is shown.

“…The present N-(p-n-hexyloxy benzylidene) p-n-alkoxy anilines (6O.Om) LC compounds are synthesized by using respective benzaldehyde and alkoxy anilines according to earlier procedure reported 47 . The corresponding compounds such as N-(p-n-hexyloxy benzylidene) and alkoxyanilines were taken in equimolar proportions and ethanol is used as a solvent and further reflux process has to be done for 3-4 hours by adding few drops of glacial acetic acid.…”

In this paper, 20 µl citrate capped Gold (Au) nanoparticles are dispersed in Schiff base Liquid Crystalline compounds 6O.Om (m = 7 and 9) and characterizations are carried-out to observe the changes occurred with the dispersion of nanoparticles in Liquid Crystalline compounds. The Polarizing Microscopy (POM) technique is used to measure the phase transition temperatures. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to determine the transition temperatures and enthalpy values. Further characterization is carried-out by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The nematic transition temperature is decreased by 1 o C with the dispersion of citrate capped Au nanoparticles into the Liquid Crystalline compounds. Image processing technique of textural analysis is also carried-out to identify the statistical parameters of the images and their transition temperatures.
