Kinetics of Non-Isothermal and Isothermal Crystallization in a Liquid Crystal with Highly Ordered Smectic Phase as Reflected by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Polarized Optical Microscopy and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy

The kinetics of the non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization of the crystalline smectic B phase (soft crystal B, SmB<sub>cr</sub>) in 4-n-butyloxybenzylidene-4&#8242;-n&#8242;-octylaniline (BBOA) was studied by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), broadb...
