摘要：In this paper, thermo optical properties of homologous series of hydrogen bonded liquid crystals: p-nalkyl benzoic acid (nBA): heptyl p - hydroxybenzoate (7HB) (where n=5 to 10) have been investigated by means ofapplying Image analysis technique in conjunction with Polarizing Optical Microscope. Textures of liquid crystalcomplexes are captured. The changes in textural features as a function of temperature are useful to compute the thermooptical properties. These microscopic textures are analysed using MATLAB software. The investigated thermo opticalparameters are optical transmission, Absorption coefficient, Phase retardation, birefringence and order parameter.Experimentally, this is a simple technique to observe the behaviour of the optical parameters of different liquid crystalsas a function of temperature.
