, p. 246 - 249 (2007/10/03)
Liquid crystals of the type p-phenylene-di-p-n-alkoxy benzoate have been prepared. Kissinger isothermal decomposition method has been used for determination of activation energy values of liquid crystals. Kissinger's assessment for shape index of DTA peaks is used to find the order of reaction. There is no direct relationship between the carbon atoms in terminal methylene groups and Ea values. Order of reaction value decreases with increase in heating rate upto carbon atoms 10 in the terminal methylene group but beyond this the order increases or decreases.
