Phase properties of hexanedioldiacrylate/E7 blends
Equilibrium phase diagrams of uncured and UV-cured difunctional hexanedioldiacrylate and the eutectic mixture of low molecular weight liquid crystals E7 are established by polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Data are analyzed using the Maier-Saupe model of nematic order. In the case of the uncured system the Flory-Huggins free energy of isotropic mixing is applied while for the cured system, the Flory-Rehner elastic free energy model is used. A good correlation between experimental and theoretical phase diagrams is found in both systems.
