Controlling thermoelastic anisotropy of liquid crystals (LCs) is important for achieving reliable structural stability and efficient heat dissipation, especially for high-performance LC devices. A solid understanding of the thermoelastic anisotropy and its relation with the LC molecular structure is, however, still missing. Here, we studied the direction-dependent mechanical and thermal properties of 5-<i>n</i>-octyl-2-(4-<i>n</i>-octyloxy-phenyl)-pyrimidine (PYP8O8) in a wide temperature range, ...[more]
