Phase diagram study octylcyanobiphenyl-cyclohexane binary mixtures

The present paper is made on to discuss the effect of solvent, cyclohexane, on the transition
temperature by doping with thermotropic liquid crystal such as octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB).
Cyclohexane is known as a non-mesogenic, low molecular weighted solvent. The high
resolution optical birefringence measurements have been employed to study the transition
temperatures. The transition temperature is changed by doping. The variation of transition
temperature is shown and discussed by producing several concentrations.
