High birefringence phenylacetylene liquid crystals with low viscosity

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250108025039

We have synthesized new high Δ n 3-ring phenylacetylene(3PA) liquid crystals which have substituent groups with core center phenyl ring and investigated the effects of substitution on physical properties. Nematic range and viscosity were improved remarkab
