Abstract:

The compounds having a chromen-2-one skeleton showed good properties of liquid crystal, but also showed better properties of gelation, the gel forming with various organic solvents is obtained. The critical gel concentrations in various solvents were determined, the three-dimensional network structure consisting of xerogel fibrils was observed with scanning electron microscope.

Key words: liquid crystals, gel, gelation, chromen-2-one, xerogel
