Abstract
The order parameter and the temperature dependence of the Miesowicz vi scosity coefficients of different mixtures of mesogenic 4-cyan-4'-octy loxybiphenyl (80CB) and 4-butylbenzoate 4'-isothiocyanatephenyl (4TPB) are studied. Measurements were performed with the aid of a home-built Miesowicz viscometer. The data are analyzed by means of the relations of Kneppe et al. and critically compared with the predictions of avai lable theoretical models.
