General Description
4-octyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (8CB) is a low molar mass liquid crystal (LC) which shows different liquid crystalline phases depending on temperature conditions. Under normal temperature conditions 8CB exists only as a bulk smectic-A phase.[1]LCs are responsive to subtle changes in temperature shear electric (or magnetic) fields and the structure of solid surfaces with which they are in contact.
