Abstract:Purpose: In this work, we mix two simple nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) and investigated the binaryNLCs mixtures of 7CB/PCH5 of different mixing ratios.
Methodology: The pure liquid crystals 7CB and PCH5 and binary mixtures of them of high temperature stability were thermally analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. The mixture 7CB/PCH5:30/70 wt% has the highest thermal stability with a nematic-isotropic (N-I) transition temperature at 50oC. The electrooptic properties of 7CB, PCH5, and the mixture 7CB/… Show more
