Abstract
Freederickz transition in a fluid discotic mesophase of disk like molecules has been investigated. Some physical parameters of this mesophase, such as birefringence, conductivities and dielectric constants, splay elastic constant K 11 and viscosity coefficient γ1, have been measured at various temperatures.Keywords
