It is known that B_4-B_x transition appears in the mixture of the rod-like liquid crystal (5CB) and the bent-core liquid crystal (P8OPIMB), which is understood to correspond to the I-N transition of 5CB. In this study, heat capacity measurements have been made on mixtures of bent-core azo compound 12OAz5AzO12 and 5CB. We report the effect of addition of 12OAz5AzO12 molecules to the 5CB system.
