Abstract
Cholesteryl esters derived from coco-fatty acids were prepared and wer e found to exhibit the cholesteric and smectic mesophases. Mixtures co nsisting of these esters and commercial nematic liquid crystals were c haracterized using DSC and polarizing microscopy. Polymer-dispersed fo rmulations were also studied.
