Formation and investigation of hydrogen bond liquid crystal binary mixtures for optical and thermal energy applications

Hydrogen bond liquid crystals derived binary mixtures are formed between methyl malonic acid (MM) and p-n heptyloxy benzoic acid (7BAO) abbreviated as MM + 7BAO & p-n dodecyloxy (12BAO) benzoic acid abbreviated as MM + 12BAO. Five binary mixtures are obtained as the molar proportion of the precursor mesogens that varies in odd steps from 0.1 to 0.9. Spectral, optical and thermal investigations of the five binary mixtures are carried out thoroughly for analyzing the mesogenic behaviors that apt the binary mixtures for appropriate applicational utility.
