Interfacial tension of a nematic liquid crystal/water interface with homeotropic surface alignment

Pendant drop experimental results are presented for the temperature dependence of the interfacial tension between water and the immiscible nematic liquid crystal 4'-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (5CB) in the presence of the adsorbed surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Adsorption o...

520 |a Pendant drop experimental results are presented for the temperature dependence of the interfacial tension between water and the immiscible nematic liquid crystal 4'-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (5CB) in the presence of the adsorbed surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Adsorption of the surfactant lowers the interfacial tension value and is also known from earlier work to induce a transition in liquid crystal surface alignment from planar to homeotropic [Brake et al. Langmuir 2003, 19, 6436.]. Discrepancies exist in the literature regarding the density of 5CB, and the density difference between 5CB and water in any case is very small. However, from the ability to form pendant 5CB drops, one may infer that the density of 5CB exceeds that of water over the entire temperature range studied (28-41 degrees C), in disagreement with the predictions of one earlier report on 5CB. The interfacial tension is shown to exhibit a relative maximum near the bulk 5CB nematic-isotropic transition temperature T(NI), regardless of which published data set of 5CB density values is used to analyze the measurements, with a possible discontinuity in tension occurring at T(NI). The anomalous shape of the interfacial tension curve, depending on the choice of the 5CB density data set, may be quite similar to that recently reported for the interface between 5CB and a hydrophobic, isotropic molten polymer (Rai et al. Langmuir 2003, 19, 7370)
