Title

A Method To Estimate The Leslie Coefficients Of Liquid Crystals Based On Mbba Data

Abstract

A new effective approach for estimating the Leslie coefficients of liquid crystals based on MBBA data is presented. Literature values of the temperature-dependent Leslie viscosity coefficients of MBBA are used to fit with the analytical functions of Leslie coefficients based on the Imura and Okano theory, and a set of constants in these functions are determined. The same functions are then applied to two high birefringence liquid crystal mixtures, E7 and UCF-2, to extract their Leslie coefficients based on their order parameters. Using the extracted Leslie coefficients, the simulation results agree very well with the experimental data. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.
