Here, phase transitions of a thermotropic liquid crystal are investigatedin a range from positive to negative pressures with a metal Berthelot tube using a commercial pressure transducer.Two co-existinglines, namely crystal (Kr) –nematic (N), and isotropic liquid (I) - nematic (N) lines, weredrawn in a pressure - temperature plane. The I-N line was drawn to ca. -5 (MPa). }, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {7}, year = {2014}, pages = {631 - 634}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998765}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/91}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 91, 2014}, }
