Undulation textures at the phase transitions of some alkyloxybenzoic acids
A. Sparavigna, A. Mello, G. Massa
We observed undulated smectic textures for some compounds of the 4,n-alkyloxybenzoic (nOBAC) acid series, at transitions between the smectic and the isotropic phase and between the…

Growth of toric domains in the smectic phase of oxadiazoles
A. Sparavigna, A. Mello, B. Montrucchio
In a previous paper (Phase Transitions, 80(9), 987, 2007) we discussed the smectic and nematic textures of some mesomorphic oxadiazole compounds with terminal Cl-substituent. Optic…

Texture transitions in binary mixtures of 6OBAC with compounds of its homologous series
A. Sparavigna, A. Mello, B. Montrucchio
Recently we have observed in compounds of the 4,n-alkyloxybenzoic acid series, with the homologous index n ranging from 6 to 9, a texture transition in the nematic range which subd…
