Paper Abstract

Surface pressure-mean molecular area isotherms of Langmuir films of some liquid crystals with CN or --NCS terminal group as well as of their binary mixtures have been recorded. It was found that only the liquid crystals which molecules have CN group are able to form a stable monolayer at the air-water interface. Information about the molecular organization and intermolecular interaction in two dimensional layer has been obtained. Moreover, the miscibility or phase separation of two components in the mixtures of various compositions has been determined by using excess area criterion and surface phase rule.
