NUCLEAR-MAGNETIC-RESONANCE OF CONFINED MBBA

Confinement of liquid crystals in small pores changes their thermodyna mic, structural, and dynamical properties, In this study we are concer ned with solid, liquid crystalline, and isotropic liquid phase behavio ur of the nematogenic compound MBBA confined in small pores of variabl e diameters, Controlled Pores Glasses (CPG) were used, the morphology of these materials is a three-dimensional connected network of cylindr ical pores, The present data investigates the dynamic behaviour of MBB A in porous media over the temperature range from 130 K to 330 K as a function of pores diameters.
