Phase Transitions of <i>N</i>-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA) Confined within Mesoporous Silica

We have used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the phase transition of a liquid crystal, <i>N</i>-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA), confined within porous silica materials with one- and three-dimensional pore architectures. Each phase-transition temperatu...
