Evaluation of the Physical Properties in the Binary Mixture of Fluorinated Nematic Liquid Crystals

Abstract

We have evaluated temperature dependence of physical properties in a binary mixture of fluorinated nematic liquid crystals with different substituents. One of the liquid crystal has large dielectric anisotropy and the other's is low dielectric anisotropy (approximately zero). We found that the relation between dielectric anisotropy and order parameter of the mixture changed from linear to second order by changing the mixing ratio.
