equilibrium features of the “Nematic-Isotropic”(NI) phase transition of a well known liquid
crystalline material N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline from the effects of heating rate
and initial temperature on the transitions, through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy. Around the vicinity of the glass
transition temperature (T g), while only a change in the baseline of the ΔC p vs T curve is …
