“…Various liquid crystal transitions have been observed by these techniques, including: the nematic-isotropic transition for p-sexiphenyl (211); bilayer and partial bilayer smetic A phases of heptylphenyl cyanobenzoyloxyoctyloxycyanobiphenyl (210); and the smetic A-smetic smetic A transition at 2.2 kbar in (4-hexyloxyphenyl 4/-decyloxybenzoate) (313). High energy or propellant compositions studied by DSC and other techniques include rate of volatilization in a cross linked double-base propellant (343), guanidinium nitrate (351), triaminotrinitrobenzene (54), triethylammonium perchlorate (350), guanidinium perchlorate (349), and N-substituted 2,4,6-trinitroanilines (399).…”
