A new series of three ring type liquid crystalline compounds containing partially fluorinated alkenyl or alkyl side chains together with fluorine substituted cyclohexylbiphenyls were designed and synthesized in this study. The structures of synthe sized compounds were established by 1 H, 13 C and 19 F NMR spectroscopy. The phase transition temperatures of fluorinated liquid crystalline compounds were determined by cross-polarizing mi-croscopy equipped withhot stage. All compounds were found to have nematic liquid crystalline phase with rel-atively low phase transition temperature and wide liquid crystalline temperature range. The dependence of phase transition temperatures on the chainlength falls into three categories; (a) decreasing transition tempera-tures for 4-fluoro-4'-[4-fluoro-4-(1-fluoroalkyl)cyclohexyl]biphenyl (15) series, (b) higher transition tempera-tures for odd numbered chains for 4-fluoro-4'-[4-fluoro-4-(1-fluoroalk-1-enyl)cyclohexyl]biphenyl (14) series, (c) higher transition temperatures for even numbered chains for 4-[4-(1,2-difluoroalk-1-enyl)-4-fluorocyclo-hexyl]-4'-fluorobiphenyl (16) series.

Liquid crystalline thermosetting epoxy oligomer DD-A was synthesized with Diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGE-DHMS) and aniline in a ratio of 2:1 and cured with a catalytic curing agent, 1-Methyl Imidazole. The gelation times and vitrification times were measured to create Time-Temperature-Transition Diagrams with liquid crystalline phase changes. It was found that the gelation and vitrification times were decreased as the concentration of curing agent increased, and the vitrification curve showing a typical S-shape was confirmed.

Mesogenic and azo monomers were synthesized and copolymerized to obtain two copolymers composed of methacrylate and itaconate backbone. Glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were found to be slightly higher than ambient temperature. Both the copolymers showed liquid crystalline properties. Trans-cis isomerization in film state was observed under UV-irradiation with a light of 365 nm. Regarding the photochemical phase transition behavior, the transition rate of nematic-to-isotropic state was slightly faster in the methacrylate copolymer during irradiation at 365 nm and the rate of the reverse transition was much faster in itaconate copolymer under thermal effect.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a strongly correlated oxide exhibiting a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is accompanied by a structural phase transition from a low temperature monoclinic phase to a high-temperature rutile phase. VO2 has attracted significant attention because of a variety of possible applications based on its ultrafast MIT. Interestingly, the transition nature of VO2 is significantly affected by stress due to doping and/or interaction with a substrate and/or surface tension as well as defects. Accordingly, there have been considerable efforts to understand the influences of such factors on the phase transition and the fundamental mechanisms behind the MIT behavior. Here, we present the influences of oxygen deficiency, hydrogen doping, and substrate-induced stress on MIT phenomena in single-crystalline VO2 nanobeams. Specifically, the work function and the electrical resistance of the VO2 nanobeams change with the compositional variation due to the oxygen-deficiency-related defects. In addition, the VO2 nanobeams during exposure to hydrogen gas exhibit the reduction of transition temperature and the complex phase inhomogenieties arising from both substrate-induced stress and the formation of the hydrogen doping-induced metallic rutile phase.

In a foaming process of microcellular plastics (MCPs) with a batch process, amorphous plastics and crystalline plastics have different characteristics for a foaming temperature. It is known that a foaming of amorphous plastics occurs at the temperature above a glass transition temperature, however, it is discovered that crystalline plastics do not take place above a glass transition temperature without exception, and even though the foaming occurs, it does not in all the range. In this research, to measure foaming temperature of crystalline polymer, a foaming experiment was performed using one of the typical crystalline polymer, polypropylene. To analyze whether the foaming occurs both at amorphous and crystalline fields, SEM was applied

We have studied the temperature dependent magnetic properties and crystalline phase transitionn in small amount Fe doped nickel chromite. The Crystalline structure of $NiCr_{1.7}Fe_{0.3}O_4$ is spinel cubic (Fd-3m) structure with a lattice constant $a_0=8.317\AA$ at room temperature. The magnetic $N\acute{e}el$ temperature $(T_N)$ of the Fe doped nickel chromite sample is determined to be 250 K. The $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra exhibit that there are two magnetic phases with the two different sites for the $Cr^{3+}$ ions. The spectrum at 4.2 K is fitted to two magnetic components of the magnetic hyperfine fields $H_{hf}=496$ and 485 kOe. From the spectrum at 295 K, the electric quadrupole splittings are observed with large values of 0.49 and 0.50 mm/s, respectively. The values of the isomer shifts at all temperature ranges show that the Fe ions are ferric states. We are suggested that the dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion and anisotropic magnetic relaxation effects due to the crystalline phase transition.

The phase transition between amorphous and crystalline states in chalcogenide semiconductor films can be controlled by electrical or pulsed laser beam; hence some chalcogenide semiconductor films can be applied to electrically write/erase nonvolatile memory devices, where the low conductive amorphous state and the high conductive crystalline state are assigned to binary states. In this letter, the characteristics of phase transition in differential chalcogenide thin film are investigated. Al was used for the electrode as the thickness of 100, 300, 500 nm, respectively.

The effects of the creamide III (CER3) and cholesterol (CHOL) on the structure of a non-hydrous distearoyl phosphatidylcholine (DSPC)-based lamellar liquid crystal (LC) hydrated by only propylene glycol (PG) without water were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractions (XRDs), and polarized microscope (PM). As soon as CER3 was incorporated into the lamellar phase, the characteristic LPP was appeared as well as the characteristic SPP, and the formation of separated CER3 crystalline phase was observed depending upon the increase of CER3 content by XRDs. Also, by DSC, it was shown that the increase of CER3 made the monotectic thermal transition be changed to the eutectic thermal transition which indicates the formation of separated CER3 crystalline phases and the main transition temperatures (Tc1) to be gradually decreased and the enthalpy change (ΔH) to be linearly increased. Incorporating CHOL, the formation of LPP and SPP showed almost similar behaviors to CER3, but incorporating small amounts of CHOL showed the characteristic peaks of CHOL which meant the existence of crystalline CHOL phase due to the immiscibility of CHOL with DSPC swollen by PG differently from CER3, and increasing CHOL made the intensity of the 1st order diffraction for LPP weakened as well as the intensities of the characteristic diffractions for DSPC. Also, in the results of DSC, it showed more complex thermal behaviors having several Tc than CER3 due to its bulky chemical structure. In the present study, the inducement of CER3 and CHOL as other lipids present in human stratum corneum (SC) into a non-hydrous lamellar phase is discussed in terms of the influence on their structural and thermal transition.
