Influence of Simple Electrolytes on the Orientational Ordering of Thermotropic Liquid Crystals at Aqueous Interfaces

We report orientational anchoring transitions at aqueous interfaces of a water-immiscible, thermotropic liquid crystal (LC; nematic phase of 4′-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB)) that are induced by changes in pH and the addition of simple electrolytes (NaCl) to the aqueous phase. Whereas measurements of...
