Abstract

The influence of the polar compound added to the binary mixture with the phase transitions N_re-induced A_d-N was tested by thermomicroscopy. The enhancement or the destabilization of the induced smectic A_d phase was observed after adding 10TPCHB, 6TPCHB, 10CPCHB, 6CPCHB, 10.CN and 10.NCS. It correlates with the behavior of these compounds in binary mixtures with 7BCB.
