Ta. Mirnaya et al., PHASE-DIAGRAMS OF BINARY-SYSTEMS OF SOME ALKALI ISO-BUTYRATES WITH ONE MESOGENIC COMPONENT, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. A, A journal of physical sciences, 50(9), 1995, pp. 893-896
The phase diagrams of the binary mixtures of mesogenic potassium iso-b
utyrate with non-mesogenic lithium-, sodium-, and caesium iso-butyrate
have been investigated by differential thermal analysis and hot stage
polarization microscopy. The temperature and concentration ranges of
liquid crystal formation have been established. Sodium and caesium iso
-butyrate have been found to possess latent mesogenic properties.
