Dielectric-Relaxation in a Mixture of a Side-Chain Liquid-Crystalline Polymer and a Low-Molecular-Mass Azo-Dye
Dielectric measurements on a mixture of a liquid crystalline polysiloxane and a low molecular mass dye as well on the pure polymer have been carried out in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 13 MHz. Three relaxation regimes have been found for the polymer-dye mixture. The shift of relaxation frequencies in the isotropic and nematic phases of the pure polymer was used to calculate the macroscopic order parameter [P-2].
