✦ Synopsis

Recapitulating the use of the proposed model gives a proper correction to the estimated values of T // o , but it seems to be too small. All this points to the fact that even in the isotropic phase of liquid crystals the molecules would have a tendency to order parallely with respect to the nearest neighbours provoking probably a mutual compensation of ~1 components of molecular dipole moment and significant retardation of the relaxation times T // 0' as well.
