Nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature (TC) and order parameter (S) of hydrogen-bonded liquid crystal (HBLC) mixtures with some fluorinated benzoic acids (FBAs) have been investigated. TC and S decrease with FBA concentration and the variations depend on the fluorine position of the phenyl ring in FBA molecules.
