## Abstract Addition of a smallβmolecule liquid crystal (5CB) to a cyanobiphenylβbased sideβgroup liquid crystal polymer (SGLCP) stabilizes nematic order, increasing the isotropization temperature (__T__~NI~) more than 15βΒ°C. Despite synergistic ordering at high concentration, small amounts of poly
The half-width temperature dependence of various IR bands from the homologous series of p-azoxyanisole in crystal, nematic crystal and isotropic liquid phases is investigated. The preorientation potential barrier UOR is determined. The dependence of Uo~ on the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl cha
