A binary mixture of bent-core and rod-shaped liquid crystals was chosen as a model substance combining the properties of both types of liquid crystals. The mixture was doped with a small amount of spherical and rod-like magnetic nanoparticles. Differential scanning calorimetry experiments were performed for the pure as well as for the doped mixture at different heating rates ranging from 1 to 16°C/min. The addition of the magnetic nanoparticles lowered the phase transition temperature. This effect is more intensive in the case of the rod-like magnetic nanoparticles. The kinetics of the nematic to isotropic phase transition was evaluated in the framework of the differential isoconversional method. The calculated apparent activation energy showed non-monotonic behaviour and a sensitivity on the shape of added magnetic nanoparticles.

In this work we describe the magnetic Freedericksz transition in HAB-based (4, 4'-di-n-heptylazoxybenzene) ferronematics. The ferronematic samples were prepared with two different volume concentrations of magnetic particles φ_1 = 2×10^{-5} and φ_2 = 2×10^{-4}. The liquid crystal HAB is nematic at the temperatures from ≈53°C to 70°C and smectic A at the temperatures under 53°C. The anisotropy of dielectric permitivity of HAB liquid crystal is positive in nematic phase and negative in smectic A phase. The magnetic Fredericksz transition was studied in nematic phase at temperature 60°C.

In the work phase transitions in bent-core liquid crystals were studied using differential scanning calorimetry. For the binary mixture of bent-core molecules with 50 wt% of rod-shaped compound, the nematic to smectic transition occured below 40°C and the crystallization temperature shifted to sub-ambient temperatures. The influence of doping of the bent-core liquid crystals with magnetic nanoparticles on the kinetics of observed phase transitions was studied. The phase transition temperatures were shifted depending on the nanoparticle type and changed with varying cooling rate for all studied liquid crystal samples.

The influence of the inclusion of the dodecanethiol functionalized gold particles (with diameter 3-5 nm) on the structural transitions was investigated. The studied samples were based on the nematic liquid crystal 4-(trans-4'-n-hexylcyclohexyl)-isothiocyanatobenzene (6CHBT). The volume concentration of the gold particles was ϕ_1 = 2 × 10^{-4} and ϕ_2 = 10^{-3}. The obtained results showed that the inclusion of the gold particles in the 6CHBT liquid crystal increases the sensitivity of such system on the external magnetic field.
