Abstract

A liquid crystalline compound, 4-(tetradecyloxy)-N-(4-hexyloxyphenyl)-2-hydroxybenzalimine (THPHBI) has been synthesized and characterised. Phase transition temperatures of 4-(tetradecyloxy)-N-(4-hexyloxyphenyl)-2- hydroxybenzalimine were determined by polarizing microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and inverse gas chromatography technique (IGC). The retention diagrams of n-butyl acetate (nBA), iso-butyl acetate (IBA), benzene (B), toluene (T) and ethylbenzene (EB) were plotted between 40 and 160 o C by IGC. Specific retention volume, 0 Vg , weight fraction activity coefficient, ∞ Ω1 , Flory Huggins polymer-solvent interaction parameter, ∞ 12 χ , equation of state polymer-solvent interaction parameter, ∗ 12 χ and effective exchange energy parameter, Xeff were determined for studied solvents. Then, the exchange enthalpy parameter, X12 and entropy parameter Q12 were determined by using a relation for the enthalpy interaction parameter, ∗ h χ of the equation of state theory, which was arranged for the IGC.
