研究目的
Investigating the influence of 4-[(E)-(4'-heptyloxyphenyl)diazenyl]phthalonitrile on the properties of a cyanobiphenyl liquid crystal mixture.
研究成果
The addition of 4-[(E)-(4'-heptyloxyphenyl)diazenyl]phthalonitrile to the CB-6 liquid crystal mixture enhances the dielectric anisotropy without significantly affecting the birefringence. This effect is attributed to the high polarity of 7O-AB-CN2 and its effective inclusion into the liquid crystalline matrix. The study suggests potential applications for 7O-AB-CN2 as a doping agent in liquid crystal materials for electro-optical devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effects of 7O-AB-CN2 on the CB-6 mixture, and the findings may not be generalizable to other liquid crystal mixtures or additives. The experimental conditions, such as temperature and concentration ranges, also limit the scope of the study.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis and purification of 4-[(E)-(4'-heptyloxyphenyl)diazenyl]phthalonitrile, followed by its addition to a six-component mixture of 4'-(n)-alkyloxy-4-cyanobiphenyls (CB-6). The mesomorphic properties were studied using polarization microscopy and DSC. The dielectric and optical properties were measured using an LCR-817 instrument and refractometric methods, respectively.

2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The samples included the synthesized 7O-AB-CN2 and the CB-6 liquid crystal mixture.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Polarization microscope (Polam P211), hot bench, KPC-S230CWX camera, DSC (Netzsch STA A-0177-M), LCR-817 instrument (INSTEK), refractometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The phase transition temperatures were determined by DSC and thermal microscopy. The dielectric permittivity was measured at 10 kHz in a temperature-controlled cell. The birefringence was measured using an Abbe refractometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The dielectric anisotropy was calculated by the formula: Δε = ε|| – ε⊥. The birefringence Δn = n|| – n⊥ was determined from the refractive indices.
