Abstract
An experiment was designed in which shearing forces acting on a film of shear sensitive liquid crystals could be measured directly while additional instrumentation was used to measure the peak spectral intensity of the light scattered by the substance. A liquid crystals sample of low temperature sensitivity was tested and a calibration curve was obtained with a linear slope of 0.208 (g/cm2)/nm from 0 to 3 g/cm2.Keywords
