Liquid crystal (LC) technology has a major effect on many areas of science and engineering as well as device technology. Recently, extensive progress has been made since LCs have widespread applications, such as LC displays, LC thermometers, and optical imaging, etc. Thermotropic transactions occur in most LCs, and they are defined by the fact that transitions to the LC state are induced thermally. In general, thermotropic mesophases occur due to anisotropic dispersion forces between the molecules and packing interactions. In this study, we investigate nematic-isotropic transition temperatures of LC/Structural (Star and Hyperbranched) Polymer systems comparing with those of LC/Linear-Polymer systems. Freed's lattice cluster model and Flory's lattice model are combined to describe phase behaviors of nematic LC/structural polymer systems. |
