Abstract
The thermal expansion (α) of 4'-n-octyloxy-4-cyanobiphenyl (8OCB) has been studied as a function of pressure along different isotherms by the piezothermal method. In the vicinity of the smectic A-nematic transition, α shows an anomaly which becomes less pronounced with increasing temperatureKeywords
