An Influence of Nematic Medium on Helical Twisting Power of Chiral Compounds
In this paper four optically active dopants with high Helical Twisting Power are investigated. Chiral compounds were tested in two kinds of achiral mixtures with broad temperature range of the nematic phase. The mixtures have been chosen considering different kind of polar group substitution in their components molecules and therefore their different dielectric anisotropy.
