摘要

High-resolution calorimetry has been performed to study the effect of dilution by a nonmesogenic, low-molecular weight solvent (linear n-hexane) on the isotropic-nematic (I-N) phase transition in the liquid crystal (LC) octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) as a function of n-hexane concentration. Numerous temperature scans were performed without continuous mixing for pure 8CB and all mixture samples of n-hexane mole fraction ranging from x_(hex) =0.02 to 0.12. The I-N specific heat peak remains first-order for all samples and shifts toward lower temperature nonlinearly while the two-phase I+N coexistence width broadens linearly with increasing x_(hex). Multiple heating and cooling scans are reproducible and indicate phase separation, if it occurs, must be on very short length scales and is reversible. These results may be a consequence of a competition between random dilution effects and the tendency to phase separate. It is shown that solvent dilution of a LC, if miscible and depending on solvent structure, can lead to a controlled altering of the intermolecular potentials and softening of the LC viscoelastic properties.
