Abstract

We report on the random disorder effect of MCM-41 on the order of the 3β-DOXYL-5α-cholestane (CLS) spin probe in the ZLI-4792 liquid crystal using Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) technique. In different MCM-41 concentrations, the temperature dependence of the director orientational order parameter,
