Abstract
The thermal stability of 4-(isothiocyanatophenyl)-1-(4-trans-alkyl)cyclohexane (CHBT) purified by treating with different sorbents and doped with polar and non-polar compounds was tested. The doping effect of various compounds on the bulk viscosity, optical and dielectric anisotropy and clearing point of CHBT mixtures was studied. The most advantageous components for obtaining these mixtures have been chosen.
